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
