Gurus -- overhead of an IDLE W10 VM on a HOST system - any ideas
Hi there
just a question to any performance gurus
If you have a decent amount of RAM and adequate HDD space is there any noticeable overhead of having an idle W10 VM - or should one shut it down when finished with. By Idle I mean that a user is logged on but not doing anything.
I can't seem to get any decent stats on this. I know also that the latest versions of vmware workstation allow you to run the vm in the background too.
I actually like the idea of running VM's in the background and then logging on via RDP or VNC but would be really interested if these idle vm's cause any noticeable load on the HOST system. - Any measuring tools out there for this.
connected via KRDP from CENTOS -- VM running in background normally
Cheers
