Virtual Development Environment Performance - .NET Development

I have the following setup for my daily/main/only development environment

Hardware/Tin = 4gb ram, 2.6ghz dual core CPU, 2x250gb HD's, usual array of periperhals

One the tin above, I currently have Windows XP installed, in Windows XP I have VMWare Workstation installed and I run a Windows Server 2003 deelopment environment. This includes,Visual Studio 2003/2005/2008, Sql Sever 2005/2008, Full MS Office suite, some producitivity tools (e.g. Redgate Sql/Data Compare, DevXpress Coderush, TestDriven.net etc).

I have problems with this, it runs slow (15 minutes to boot), the Watch/Autos windows in VS freeze up when debugging, I can't have more than 2-3 copies of VS open, the Errors window freezes up, WinGrep and COm+ constantly runs out of Virtual Desktop Memory and so forth (In fact, I would attribue most of the issues to Virtual Desktop Memory)

Now, I've tried every tweak in the book, I have second HD for VMWare, my paging file is on a differnt drive, I've adjusted my Ram split between guest and host, I've hacked the reg key for Virtual Desktop Memory and all of this to no avail.

Now, I could increase my Ram or CPU, but I'm not able to.

My question is, has anybody experienced the above, and if so, how did you solve it? Did you try ESXi? or shift your environment to raw tin?

看答案

IMHO, you've tried just about every tweak in the book. I'd suggest that you should just move to native for your main setup, and restrict VM use for testing.

I use a VM as my main dev env, but I don't run as much stuff as you, so I don't hit a big performance wall.

redis中的hash扩容渐进式rehash过程

背景： redis字典（hash表）当数据越来越多的时候，就会发生扩容，也就是rehash 对比：java中的hashmap，当数据数量达到阈值的时候(0.75)，就会发生rehash，hash表长度变为原来的二倍，将原hash表数据全部重新计算hash地址，重新分配位置，达到rehash目的 redis中的hash表采用的是渐进式hash的方式： 1、redis字典（hash表）底层有...
