That's the patch I'm using that works on 2.6.27.7. Starting with the upgrade to 2.6.27.21 (and now 2.6.27.23), Windows clients use 100% CPU time all the time. Linux clients are OK. Windows clients also have serious problems with clock thrift.
Between 2.6.27.7 and 2.6.27.21/2.6.27.23 are quite some changes in SUSE's kernel config that concern the clock, virtualization, and others, IIRC. Maybe if one changes some of them back, it might work again.
But my next step will probably be to try Workstation 6.5 on a trial system and see if it has the same problem or not. Actually, the NVidia setup is one of the few things missing to get a new workstation working so that I can use the old ones for such experiments... ;-)
FWIW, I've switched to WS 6.5 in the meantime, too, because I felt rather unsafe due to VMware potentially pushing their 2.x server solution more than fixing the 1.x version...
