Hello,
when I'm running about 80 WindowsXP virtual machines via virtualbox in idle for testing (no programs, just desktop) and open one of the VMs, it starts to get and stays laggy inside the VM, so it's partially unresponsive (mouse movement etc.)
I know this is a huge amount of VMs but I do wonder what is the limiting factor/ bottleneck here, expressed differently, what causes the lags?
Each WinXP VM gets assigned 400MB RAM and 3GB disk space, it only needs 150-170MB ram in idle and 2,3 GB fully installed.
My System:
Threadripper 1950x
MSI X399 sli plus (quad channel ram)
48GB DDR4 2400MHz CL16-16-16-39 (3x16GB)
Noctua NH-U14S
Crucial MX500, 500Gb ssd
gt210 graphics card
I've placed one ram brick in each A2, B2 and C2 slot. When running 80VM in idle, the cpu load is between 35% and 40%, RAM usage is round 70%, disk usage 1-2%.. everything fine in my opinion so I can't explain myself the occuring lagging..
I highly appreciate any help or input!
Thank you!
