Hi, We would need your infrastructure details such as Server, Storage, Network, and version of hosts. Just having RAM and CPU will not help you to solve the issue, I doubt you are having a serious issue at the storage level. kindly share your virtual desktop disk performance details too to nail down to the root cause. Regards,

1)Change the power Policy http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1018206

2)Use this tool to Optimize the Parent https://labs.vmware.com/flings/vmware-os-optimization-tool

3)Inside the Guest Operating System

1)disable the animations during Windows Maximize or Minimize
2))Disable Cursor Animation

Is performance an issue only with windows 8 and windows 7 works fine

Linked clone or full clone

SSd or Vsan or Flash Io ??

What exactly is the issue in the Guest like do you see high cpu applications slow which applications are slow

our developer team are using from desktops and when they want compile their codes it will take a long times but they use windows 8.1 on their clients and when compile code on their pc it will take about 3min but when they want do compile on horizon desktops it take about 8-11 min all of desktops has 8gig ram and 4vcpu and when do compile max usage of ram is 2gig and cpu is 30% my esxi host information is :

160g ram

Proliant DL380 G7

use local disk don't have any storage

no i think my problem maybe is from network or disk i/o

now i monitor my host and in this time just 1 user is connected to horizon desktop and use and this is  network I/O and  Hdd I/o my esxi

network I/O = 117/75 Kbps

Disk I/O = 487.42 Kbps

what do you think?

best regards

Did you measure the impact on disk performance of the application and compilation in the physical.

I'd start with the optimization using the tool previously linked in the thread, it has a Template for Windows 8 that will enable you disable many of the common services and processes that can impact performance. I would also though look at that physical performance and ensure that your VM can provide equal resources on the disk side as well as compute.
