Slow performance for Vsphere Client update 1 on Windows 7

[erx2]

Hi

i was running the vsphere client 4.0 on my windows 7 without any issues. Since i update the Vcenter and my vsphere client to 4.0 update 1 , i have really slow performance..vmware-vmrc.exe is using around 50% of CPU ...

I uninstalled all Vsphere Client , and reinstalled from scratch with same result...

It works perfectly on the computer running the Vcenter...

Any ideas ?

Thanks for your help.

Spec's of the system you're running the client on? I really don't have any issue running the vCenter client on my Windows 7 x64 workstation. Of course, I'm not running a ton of apps while using it (just normal stuff, Outlook 2007, Firefox, AIM, vCenter client, even Workstation 7.1) and other than the refresh of when changing tabs being slow (occasionally) it's not an issue. Controlling the servers is more than acceptable for performance. Even when I toss Photoshop CS4 (64 bit) performance is well within what you would accept.

Check to make sure your AV software is set to NOT scan the directory the client resides within. That could be bogging things down for you.

What AV product are you using? How about software installs/updates since the console worked properly (last) and now? What else are you running when you're using the console?

My workstation spec's (major components):

Dell Precision Workstation 490

Dual, Dual Core Xeon 5160 (3GHz per core)

16GB RAM

Windows 7 x64

Three 750GB SATAII hard drives inside RAID 0 array

nVidia GeForce 8800GTX video card

Two NIC's, one onboard Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gb and one Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabet PCI card.

Using gadgets available for WIndows 7, I monitor the performance of this system. CPU usage, right now, is around 25%, with memory usage being less. I do have jumbo frames enabled on my switch here (ProCurve 2510G-24) to remove any bottlenecks. I'm also using a VM that's set up as my AD DC (DNS and DHCP duties too). The router is JUST to get me out to the internet, everything else has been pulled off from it. No systems are connected directly to the router (even though it has a Gb switch in it). All systems/devices connect to the ProCurve switch, which then connects to the Linksys WRT610N router for web access.
