Yes, depending on your particular config its 2.8 to 3.2 GB per VM
If you have a vanderpool (VT) processor (like my core 2 duo) there
is little to no real loss of performace running in a VM due to the fact
that VMWare does not have to binary patch to trick the operating system
into believing it is running at x86 level 0. VT processors have
multiple level 0.
Your real performance loss with dynamips would be around 2-5%.
