Poor performance with Windows 10/ 2019 1809 on VMFS 6

THIS IS FIXED in ESXi 6.5 U3 and 6.7 U3. See KB67426 (Performance issues with Windows 10 version 1809 VMs running on snapshots) for more information. TL;DR: This bug is still up to date and has not been fixed yet! Some user in the VMTN thread mentioned a hotpatch from VMware, which seems to be pulled. A fix for this issue will be available with ESXi 6.5 U3 and 6.7 U3.
