If it's the VMware document I'm thinking of (titled "Timekeeping in 
VMware Virtual Machines"), then the issue is that emulating the timer 
interrupt can cause a heavy load on the host if the guest timer is 
configured to run at a high rate.

It seems it's more that that even at the regular rate...

Best,
