No matter what I did, there was not enough RAM assigned to the VM to get a snappy performance. Initial Laptop VM - 4 gigs ram on 2010 Mac Book Pro Core Duo using Parallels. As Kraada mentioned we do not advise hosting PostgreSQL in a Virtual Machine due to the processing requirements and the effects on disk speed.

In each of the examples below I hosted the PostgreSQL database in OSX, and accessed the SQL server as if it was on a dedicated machine via the HOST's IP and port (this requires some manual configuration of PostgreSQL as discussed here. Paul - I am the most frequent VM user of the PokerTracker staff members, from experience you should generally over-allocate RAM when using a VM, the minimum requirements will result in poor performance for you due to the unique issues of running a VM.

On this hardware I've had no problem 12 tabling with Party & 888 running HEM2 HUD, HEM2 itself remains responsive but generally slow drawing graphs. The VMware host is a MacBook Pro 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB DDR3 running OSX 10.6.8 with VMWARE Fusion 3.1.3 running XP SP3 with all updates applied. Definitely feels like performance degrades over time, until the point where the HUD stops updating such that no HUD overlay at all is displayed for players joining the table. I've been playing 888 Network with 3 tables max, for a 90 min session.

Switching off the HUD in PT4 immediately resolves the live performance problem, re-enabling the HUD immediately kills performance again. This includes things like responsiveness to switching tabs, loading results, stats, graphs etc.Īlso, when playing the HUD seems to progressively degrade performance until it kills the poker room card animations and hogs the virtual machine. Been running PT4 in a Windows XP virtual machine, but I'm getting pretty bad general performance (i.e.
