Thanks to all who responded. We aren't re-using the same machine but it's still nice to know we would experience a 30-40% drop if we were. Looks like we may have to tune the virtual machine to minimize the performance drop... but I'm not at all sure how to estimate how much it will be. Eric A

We don't virtualize a single machine with 100+ users, but we do virtualize several uv machines on a single physical server with 100 users spread across them. From this experience, it is the disk speed that is the critical factor that impacts performance. We have 10K rpm disks with 64MB cache; the
