Will InspIRCd run under VMWare?

If the OS used in the virtual machine is supported it could technically run but when tested (tested with VMWare Server 1.0.1 with FreeBSD 6.1 as guest and Windows as host) it was noted that VMWare is extremely bad at keeping the virtual system time correct, this means that InspIRCd will get desynch problems. The time drifted over 10 seconds in a minute and even with time syncing it was impossible to keep it accurate enough to not get severe desynch problems.
