VMware the viops blog have released a white paper which discusses stuff you can do to improve performance of the SRM product and its recovery plans.

It includes such tips such as:

• Fewer but larger NFS datastores can help speedup a recovery
• Specifying a non replicated datastore for swap files will eliminate certain remote calls during a recovery and will help improve recovery performance.
• Even placement of shadow virtual machines across all hosts on the recovery site will ensure maximum parallelism during a recovery
• And much much more!
