I have a situation where a particular program that I run spawns off a whole bunch of processes and then the system grinds to a halt as all the processes cause the CPU to peg at 100% wait time. On a physical computer this problem is not so bad and the startup time is several seconds. This problem is also not present on VMware Server 2. However, in ESXi the startup time of this program is around 6 minutes because the CPU is stuck in the waiting state. When I check the CPU In the VMware client it is reported as running around 70MHz the whole six minutes of startup
So, my question: Is there a way to mitigate the issue of having the CPU stuck in the wait state? Why do I not see this issue in VMware Server?
