Why is the vSphere console view so slow?

I do not find the vSphere console to be slow. Maybe your system is over-burdened or you are experiencing network issues?

I've found that the VMware tools installation does not install the VMware SVGA drivers for Windows. Update the display driver manually it's under Program Files\common files\vmware\drivers\video. This made the console sessions much more responsive for me through vSphere.

On Windows 2k8 I found I needed to change the hardware acceleration setting to high.
