High CPU and RAM normal for a Win7 View desktop?

[bshubinsky]

I just started messing around with VMware View and have been using a test desktop for a few days so that I can iron out any kinks we may have. I did notice from looking at the Task Manager and in the vSphere client that I'm constantly using an awful lot of CPU and RAM. The VM itself has 2GB of RAM and does not have a restriction on CPU usage either.

There aren't any out of the ordinary programs and it doesn't seem to really be effecting the performance of the VM but it's just me so far so I'm worried about when I have 100 users on.

Does anyone else experience this?

you will need to look into the vsphere client and that look into the memory dedup that is in 4.1. Also there is memory transparent sharing when you have many VM running at the same time.

also if you're partner then you could access the partner site and get the sizing/calculator for view. RAM is relative cheap today but you should be more concerned on the CPU and also the disk iops.
