<br></div></blockquote><div>I would try scaling back on the vCPUs assigned to the VM. More isn't necessarily better. Do update the thread setting as suggested by Chris but remember that hyperthreading does not equal a real core. In this situation with an uneven vCPU count the host will be sharing a logical core with the VM. I would also make sure that physical RAM is properly distributed between the 2 CPUs. </div>
