Yeah, mine was on a SuSE install with a package called ps-2003.10.7-1, which looks like a modified procps-3.1.11.

That's how I read it. At less than .3% paged out, your problem probably lies elsewhere. I don't run VMWare myself, but there's probably a lot of disk I/O involved in emulating that 600MB of RAM. Does sar (or iostat) show spikes during these pauses? Might want to try and put that file (or whatever VMWare uses) on a faster device, and the suggestion of trimming down that 600MB to what you really need still stands.
