To all the Demo Showcase Beta testers. Please find here my findings on the VPC performance of this great demo content.
I had a fair performance running the demoscripts taking these considerations into account :
* Put all the VHD images on an external disk.* Reserve a partition on your external disk exclusively for the Demo Showcase* Format the partition before copying the VHD's to your external disk.* Flag the Partition so that files are compressed when written to the partition.* Exclude VHD images to be scanned by your virus scanner.* Warm up the demo and start your demo from a saved state.* I run the demo on a machine 4GB Ram & Dual Core Intel Processor
