We are virtualising an application that is not multi-core aware so we are trying to make each core perform as fast as it can. We are using Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 0 @ 2.00GHz and would like to get every last drop of performance out of it.
When I change the powercfg to use Best Performance it makes the Host operating system (Windows Server 2012 Data Centre) use the full potential of the processor but this does not pass through to the VM (Windows Server 2008 R2).
What can I do to pass-through the extended processing power of the host to the VM? Or what else can I do to improve the processor performance of the VM?
