Thanks for everyone's help. This has actually increased the boot up speed of all of our Opteron based boxes through VMware ESX. I'll report the problem to VMware, but I'm betting this is a side effect of the CLFLUSH problems in virtualized Opteron machines that they worked around with a much slower function.
