I recently was using Vmware on Ubuntu, and found that bridged networking
to the host was extremely slow. So try a different protocol and see if
its slow too. Are you saying you suspect Samba?
Changing to host-only fixed the speed.
You may have the same problem. I'd like to know the answer, but havn't 
got around to checking the vmware forums yet.
