Recent kernels should be able to keep the VM time synced using kvmclock clocksource...

So for the sake of other peoples' nerves also facing this problem, the solution was to add "divider=10" as a kernel boot parameter.
There is an good post about this problem here:

and this also leads to this document for VMWare giving an indication of what the suggested parameters for various distributions are:
Did you not try the clocksource=kvm-clock? Or do you not have a new enough kernel (2.6.27+)?
No, unfortunately Centos 5.4 comes with a 2.6.18 kernel (though with many backports from newer versions).
% uname -r 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.centos.plusPAE % cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource kvm-clock
