Your life will be easier if you configure vmware to use the pcnet32 emulation.

I think it unlikely that you will notice the difference. If you care about every last % of performance, you would not be using virtualization anyway.

That is not completely true, some of the high end virtualization products support sharing resources over multiple hosts creating an even bigger beast than you could on one host.
