Add the following to your /boot/loader.conf file:

kern.hz="100"

I always use this setting with FreeBSD under VMware, and it solves all
these timing problems for me.  (But YMMV.)

However, I am not sure what is at fault here, VMware or FreeBSD...  I'd
guess the latter, since neither Linux nor Windows guest OSes seem to
have any such timing problems.
