Hi everyone, A while ago I did some informal benchmarking of MapGuide 1.2 on VMware ESX Server 3.0. I performed the testing on a machine with a current 2.3GHz quad core Intel CPU. I also had a physical machine available with nearly identical characteristics. This enabled me to do a direct A/B comparison.
I treated the VM like a real machine. I enabled virtual SMP so MapGuide could use all four processors. I also gave the VM 4GB of ram. With this configuration, the test was CPU bound and not disk bound. Under load, I found that the VM was 35% slower than running on physical hardware. Not bad for a virtualized environment.

Thanks Martin and Zac. We have some serious performance-tuning to do and unfortunately VMware is a piece of the puzzle. We'll do all the other stuff first and then see if we need to abandon VMware. -- James Card California CAD Solutions, Inc. 209 578-5580 Voice 209 521-6493 FAX _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
