Hi All
I am running:
FreeNAS-11.2-U4.1
E3-1230 V2 (4 core 8 thread)
2 x 8GB DDR3 ECC RAM
PCIe SSD for VM zvol
VM:
Win 10
2vCPU
4GB RAM
Fresh install of Win 10 (latest build, ISO created with Windows media creation tool)
Saw that there were issues with e1000 LAN adapter, so switched to VirtIO, installed the virtio-win-0.1.171-1 driver for the NIC and it is now not pinned at 100% at all times, but any basic task will spike CPU to 100%, through VNC or RDP.
As Bhyve allocates sockets, I cant go above 2 sockets (cores in this case) on the VM, so throwing more power it doesn't seem to be an option.
I would expect 2 cores running @3.3 GHz to be able to handle opening Chrome without locking the system and spiking to 100% for the duration it is open in the new tab page though.
Some other activities to put into the perspective of how slow this thing is running:
Opening File Explore takes ~20 seconds, doesn't touch the disk at all but spikes CPU to 100%, locks the system and then use 5% CPU just sitting on the This PC screen.
Switching tabs in Task manager also spikes it to 100%.
Right now it sits on the desktop, with nothing running apart from task manager. Task manager is using 15% of the CPU, just displaying itself...
The CPU usage reported on the FreeNAS side (bhyve in top) is accurate, ranging from 0-25% on the Host machine
I haven't ran driver booster or looked for any CPU drivers atm, in my experience Win10 has been good at getting the drivers it needs (and it should have done, as I installed the OS with e1000 (so it had networking) for upgrade)
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Kind Regards,
Chris
