Virtual Dj Performance Settings
Gianira Jardin
If you're running a virtual machine on your Mac using Parallels Desktop, you may experience some performance issues that can make the virtual machine run slower than you'd like. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to improve your virtual machine's performance.
Virtual machine performance is directly related to a computer's hardware resources. It is also very important to allocate even shares of hardware resources between the host operating system (macOS) and guest (virtual machine) according to the recommended system requirements of both systems.
Note: Parallels Desktop for Mac has a cool feature: CPU Usage Monitor. Look at the virtual machine's window tray, and the CPU Usage Monitor will light up in red when CPU usage in Windows is above 70%. Click on CPU Usage monitor to see what processes in Windows use the computer's CPU. Clicking on a process name will open Windows Task Manager, showing the selected process:
The computer's performance mostly depends on several hardware components: CPU, RAM, and hard disk. While the CPU cannot be replaced at hand, most Mac computers are enabled for RAM and hard disk upgrades.
Note: starting with Parallels Desktop 17, we advise using the Automatic Resource Manager feature. Parallels Desktop 17 evaluates your Mac hardware before starting a virtual machine to allocate as many resources as needed to provide a better out-of-the-box experience (OOBE) for our users. When deploying a virtual machine to various different Mac hardware, this new feature helps to ensure that your users will get the best possible experience with Windows on their Macs.
Users who rarely make use of their virtual machines may encounter slowness and other performance issues after starting a virtual machine if it hasn't been used for a long time. Our recommendation is for users to wait for some time to enable Windows to complete necessary internal jobs and other required maintenance tasks. If Windows still exhibits slow performance, check Task Manager as described below to find out the reason for high CPU consumption.
The virtual machine's CPU consumption directly depends on guest operating system usage. If you notice that your virtual machine consumes a high amount of CPU resources, check the CPU consumption in the guest operating system in Task Manager (right-click on Windows taskbar > Task Manager):
Once you determine the Windows program process responsible for consuming a sufficient amount of CPU, you may refer to the software manufacturer's knowledge base to find more information about the process and the consequence of disabling the process. You can take a snapshot (Actions > Take a snapshot) of the virtual machine to stay on the safe side and disable the top process, e.g. you can follow the steps from this article to disable the Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry service shown in the screenshot above. For some types of software, like video or photo editing, CAD, or video games, high CPU usage is a common operating condition.
If your Mac uses a hard disk drive (HDD), it is highly recommended to replace the drive with a solid-state drive (SSD). This is the #1 recommendation for all Mac users which gives a significant performance boost to Mac 2-3 times more than HDDs. Contact your local Apple Authorised Service Provider to get assistance with your disk replacement.
Just want to share my MSFS Quest 2 settings that have been giving me amazing, smooth performance with SU10. This allows me to run on high/ultra settings with no stutters even while flying on VATSIM (and with StreamLabs sucking up resources!)

Instructions provided describe how to adjust the system's virtual memory settings. For the maximum benefit, set this value to the maximum available on the Windows operating system. For Windows 2000 and XP, the maximum available is 4096MB (4GB).
Procedure The drive selected for the virtual memory should have enough free space to store the page file, as defined by the initial and maximum settings. If the amount of free space on the drive is less than the virtual memory settings, the page file size uses all the available drive space. In that case, clear some space on the drive or set the virtual memory to another drive.Windows 10:See the Microsoft Help topic: "How to Increase Virtual Memory in Windows 10: A Quick Guide".
A Virtual Performance is a performance on an online web conferencing platform such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, or Google Meets where performers are geographically isolated from one another and not together on a stage.
A Livestream Performance is a traditional performance that is livestreamed to the Internet as the actors are performing. Instead of watching the show live in the theatre, the audience watches virtually from their home or other location.
Performances need not all be of the same type (i.e. Live Stage Performance, Virtual Performance, Livestream Performance) so long as the total number of performances given does not exceed the total number of performances ordered.
Over 90% of our plays are available for all three options. Just visit our play catalogue and click on any individual play page for more information. We also have plays specifically written or selected for online performances!
The virtual PMCs are accessed in the same way as the PMCs of the underlying physical CPU. See the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual and the AMD BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for details.
This is the default behavior. The instructions retired and branches retired events count guest instructions only. When the CPU executes hypervisor instructions, these events do not increment. All other events increment whenever the physical CPU executes either guest or hypervisor instructions on behalf of the virtual machine. When a virtual machine is not scheduled on a physical CPU, its virtual PMCs always stop incrementing. This way, metrics involving ratios of guest instructions can be used to calculate the cost of executing instructions on the virtual machine. For example, instructions per cycle (IPC) indicate the average number of guest instructions that can be retired per cycle that the physical CPU is used to execute the virtual machine.
All events increment while a physical CPU is being used to execute guest code or hypervisor code on behalf of the virtual machine. Events stop incrementing only while the virtual machine is descheduled.
When the virtual PMC feature is enabled, additional CPU compatibility checks are performed before a virtual machine can be migrated between hosts. The performance monitoring events of the source and destination CPUs must be compatible. The list of performance monitoring events must be the same on the source and destination CPUs. In general, two CPUs have compatible performance monitoring events if they belong to the same microarchitecture. See the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual and the AMD BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for the list of performance monitoring events for each CPU. In addition, to successfully migrate a virtual machine, all counters that are available on the source CPU must also be available on the destination CPU.
The instructions provided describe how to increase virtual memory beyond the recommended maximum. Increasing virtual memory beyond the recommended maximum enables users to export large map documents to PDFs that preserve all of the map elements.
Virtual memory is simulated RAM. When all of the RAM in a machine being is used, the computer shifts data to an empty space on the hard drive. The computer swaps data to the hard disk and back to the RAM as needed. When virtual memory is increased, the empty space reserved for RAM overflow increases.
Having enough available space is absolutely necessary for virtual memory and RAM to function properly. Virtual memory performance can be improved automatically by freeing up resources in the registry.
Procedure Warning:The instructions below include making changes to essential parts of your operating system. It is recommended that you backup your operating system and files, including the registry, before proceeding. Consult with a qualified computer systems professional, if necessary.Esri cannot guarantee results from incorrect modifications while following these instructions; therefore, use caution and proceed at your own risk.The virtual memory is increased by accessing the system settings and then adjusting the virtual memory setting.
This article helps clarify disk performance and how it works when you combine Azure Virtual Machines and Azure disks. It also describes how you can diagnose bottlenecks for your disk IO and the changes you can make to optimize for performance.
Azure virtual machines have input/output operations per second (IOPS) and throughput performance limits based on the virtual machine type and size. OS disks and data disks can be attached to virtual machines. The disks have their own IOPS and throughput limits.
Your application's performance gets capped when it requests more IOPS or throughput than what is allotted for the virtual machines or attached disks. When capped, the application experiences suboptimal performance. This can lead to negative consequences like increased latency. Let's run through a couple of examples to clarify this concept. To make these examples easy to follow, we'll only look at IOPS. But, the same logic applies to throughput.
