VMWare provider performance issues about packer-boxes HOT 2 CLOSED

Interesting... if it's MySQL queries, then something in MySQL must be hitting a snag. My first two guesses would be disk and memory—I'm assuming you have tried increasing the VM's memory allocation? If you can replicate the scenario, run top and free -m to see if there's any pressure on the RAM allocated to the VM, or if there's some other process that's killing things.

I haven't encountered this issue, and it's typically more the opposite (but not this extreme) in my testing.

I'm going to close this out for now—please reopen if you can figure out any more reasons why it might be failing only on this box. I can't think of anything due to the fact that (a) the box doesn't seem to cause issues elsewhere, and (b) MySQL and most networking setup would be configured on top of this box, and none of the default minimal install settings should be negatively impacted.
