VMWare ESXi4 with 2 VM's (FreeBSD-amd64). When doing a reboot on one of the VM's, the reboot is done in normal speed, but after that, the interactive response time on the other gets very slow: pressing return at the command prompt, takes serveral seconds to be exectuted. SSH-ing to the VM machine takes a long time before you are logged in. Only after 20 minutes or so, the situation is normalized.

What's the reason and how to remedy?

Smells like memory exhaustion. How overcommited is the physical memory on the host?

In /boot/loader.conf, try to add

kern.hz=50

and reboot.
