Reading this article on high CPU spikes on Mark Russinovich’s blog the other day found about Kernrate Viewer, coming very handy when looking at some high kernel times today on a Windows XP (x32) VM running locally in VMware Player 4.
A quick search found this article on Virtual PC Guy's blog – setting the two registry keys from 1 to 4 seems to have somewhat solved the problem, although now “hal” is showing quite high, I might need to look into that a little further...
Update 28 March 2012
You may find that after the registry change that vmware-vmx.exe will exhibit constant high CPU consumption on the host system, in which case you might want to revert back to the default registry values.
