Tony Voellm: As we have moved from Beta to RC the number of questions I have been getting around Hyper-V performance have grown quite a bit. It’s time to put some tips out on how to avoid some common pitfalls.
Pitfall 1: The first and most common has been running without Integration Components (http://blogs.msdn.com/tvoellm/archive/2008/01/02/hyper-v-integration-components-and-enlightenments.aspx ) This is understandable because they are new with Hyper-V and figuring out if they are running is not simple unless you know a few tricks.
The IC’s are important because they can improve overall workload performance from 10’s of percent to more commonly 100’s of percent. This is why they are so important.
Resolution: Make sure IC’s are installed. I have two tips on how to do this.
