--- Comment #6 from risner <risner@stdio.com> ---
I believe this may be fixed now.

From a Mac Mini VMWare server running  ESXi-7.0U3p-23307199-standard comparing
two servers. One with E1000 and one with VMX.

E1000:

[  5]   0.00-30.09  sec  3.25 GBytes   929 Mbits/sec                  receiver

iperf Done.

VMX:

iperf Done.

So it seems now, there is a very minor performance increase on the vmx driver.
