Yes, but can you run WSL on a Xeon Phi? With Xe graphics?

- It takes like 15 minutes to boot up
- Pressing Windows key sometimes does not work, and sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds for the Start menu to come up
- Disk usage is 100% all the freaking time

Ugh? Amy I missing anything?
I've got around 20 Windows VMs ranging from Windows XP (used for security testing) up to Windows 2K16, running on 6 different hosts (3 pure KVM, 3 ovirt) and neither of them showing anything close to what you are experiencing.
And my VM hosts range from a low-end i5 laptop with 8GB RAM up to multi-node oVirt clusters with TB of RAM...

That's because you run everything on super high-end 512GB RAM 128TB drive all-Xeon systems, and use solid state dri-



Never mind... I just found out what was causing the slowdown...

It appears that after a while, the image becomes fragmented, and therefore Windows slows down greatly (this is a 30GB file and I am about to run out of disk space).

After running e4defrag, the performance improved greatly...

I believe I was _very_ clear when I said: "And my VM hosts range from a low-end i5 laptop with 8GB RAM up to multi-node oVirt clusters with TB of RAM..."
Heck, up until a couple of months ago, I had Acer Chromebook - converted to Fedora - with a low end dual core "Pentium", 6GB RAM and 64GB SSD that had a Windows 7 VM on it (which ran reasonably well).
