Windows 10 performance

[antoniomsk]

Hello,

Thank you very much for really helpful ideas.
We tried to test it on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4.
We have found that tests are executed far slower in such setup in comparison with Windows virtual machines managed by Hyper-v.
All the selenium tests with Hyper-v faster by 50-60% even if we allocate the same resources for Windows in docker and for VMs with Hyper-v.

Is it an expected difference in performance?

Thanks in advance!

Try to increase cpu resources available for container, also you can increase number of cpus that qemu allocates for kvm: https://github.com/aerokube/windows-images/blob/master/image/entrypoint.sh#L21 smp option... ср, 18 дек. 2019 г., 21:49 antoniomsk <[email protected]>:

Hi
Thank you for the response.
I tried to increase number of cpus that qemu allocates for kvm but it does not significantly increase overall performance.
I tried
-smp sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2
-smp sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2
Also i tried to add more RAM (up to 8GB for 64bit Win10) and use 32bit Win10 as well as 64bit Win10
Selenium tests with Hyper-v are still faster by 50%
Will continue to find the root cause.

Check size of the snapshot.img file, it should be about 1G, in that case browser starts in 10 seconds. вт, 24 дек. 2019 г., 21:12 antoniomsk <[email protected]>:
