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>
