VMware: operations against VC/ESX are taking at least 5 seconds

[Gary Kotton]

The default values of the task_poll_interval is 5 seconds. This means that any operation against the VC will wait at least 5 seconds.
An example of this - a spawn operation would take on average take 25 seconds. When this parameter what changed to 0.2 - 1.0 seconds the operation would take on average 9 seconds.

This is not marked as a backport bug - the work around here is to update the configuration file.
