I had an experience to use custom vmx parameters to disable page sharing and ballooning for VMs on esx 3.x but don't think MemTrimRate was part of those strings. It were mainly for citrix Terminal SVR VMs that weren't performing well in shared production (even though esx didn't show overall performance impact on other non-Citrix VMs) as opposed to the lab i.e. 100% reserved RAM and full CPU limit or one VM per one ESX (quad CPU dcore, 64GB RAM). /Mo v nice review!
