Stopping lag.. I could use some help.

Sylen, check out XCP-ng. Barely any difference unless you get into a state where you had a single storage setup (say RAID10, 4 disks) and suddenly all VMs need to write to disk. However, professional setups use SANs and don't have that issue. I have ten Ark servers on two identical Xeon setups, and they never choke out.

I am wondering if the Data store from ESXI seven days doesn't handle well.  As HyperV is direct to storage.

Also what is your setup for your 7 days server, if you don't mind me asking.

dude I t hink I know what it is. The default SCSI controller is LSI Logic SAS, paravirtual can handle a much high IO load.  I am going to swtich the controller and see what happens.

The current setup is an i5-2400, 16GB DDR3, and a single 500GB SATA disk. Had four on just now. Two of us together, the other two on their own separately. I averaged 37fps server-side.

The two Ark servers are Dual Xeon 12-core/24-thread systems with 128GB ECC DDR4 each. They each have 4TB of RAID10 storage. I believe it is ZFS, but no hardware controller. Using PV mode should greatly increase your throughput.
