January 24, 20242 yr Tried running a Win10 VM on my unraid box with the intent to be able to VPN in during down time at work and mess around in visual studio on some personal projects. However, it seems incredibly slow loading anything, user inputs delayed, and high CPU usage. Comparatively, running a Win10 VM on my gaming PC feels quite snappy (hosted and accessed on same pc). Differences between unRaid machine vs. my gaming PC: Hardware Unraid machine - Core i3-4360 w/ 8gb DDR3 ECC memory *VM stored on SSD cache drive and never moved to array Gaming PC - i7-11700k w/ 32gb DDR4 memory Network Unraid VM is accessed over wired LAN via VM Console (VMC) Hyper V VM on gaming PC is accessed from the same gaming PC (connection not over ethernet) Configuration Is there something wrong with my Unraid VM configuration causing excessive slowness? Currently pinned to CPU 0 only, but same result with CPU 0 / 2 and leaving it on CPU 0 / 2 and CPU 1 / 3 Given 3gb memory out of 8gb available on the machine Demo video (Unraid at beginning, Gaming PC VM at end) Is my unRaid Win10 VM this slow due to old hardware, accessing over ethernet vs. from same PC, or an Unraid VM configuration or other incorrect setting?
