[mapguide-users] Performance of MapGuide on a Virtual Server

[Jason Birch]

It's really hard to say. Have you done any profiling on the server to
determine whether you're disk/memory/cpu-bound? What do you mean by
close? What's the throughput of the network connection?

What version of mapguide are you running? What's your data source?
How many layers do you have in your map?  Are you applying appropriate
display ranges for the data?

Virtualization can be a measurable performance factor, especially for
disk access or if your farm is experiencing heavy resource contention.
 It's not necessarily the first place I'd look though. An optimized
map on a properly-resourced virtual machine shouldn't be
order-of-magnitude worse than the same on equivalent hardware.
