It doesn't run at the same speed for obvious reasons. As well as the fact I set up a single core system with half the RAM... I didn't feel like setting up a VM with complete use of my resources. But it works just fine, I'm actually posting this through my VistaVM install running in Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid. I'm actually pretty happy that I finally made this conversion... now just if I can pass my capture cards through VMware to Vista, probably not though.
Nice! What kinda specs are you running?

My PC is:

Intel Core2Duo E6700 @ 2x 2.67ghz
2GB DDR2 800
Asus Mobo with Nforce4 chipset - got the E6700 when it first came out... stupid me
GeForce 7950 GX2 - both GPUs split to run dual monitors
a handful of SATA HDDs

now that I have an OS that fully supports larger amounts of memory I'll probably upgrade so I can hand more over to the VM. I was using the 32-bit version of Vista...
