When the client is fully 'settled in' performance is perfectly adequate. Where it runs into problems is saving state and restoring. That is pretty fast, but if you save state and restore a few days later the client performance is abysmal for some time as the client goes through lots of housekeeping, scanning etc to get up to date. I generally restore it and go off and do something else for 30 minutes.
As an aside, a Windows host for a client sucks big time. Windows will automatically restart periodically no matter what you do to prevent it. When it does it's likely to smash the client and lose whatever you were doing.

Unfortunately, I have to have a Windows host. I have given up dual hosting because of the pain, so I am using a dedicated Win 10 box and a Deb laptop.I would love to run Windows on a VM on Debian iff I can have it be reliable enough to use with reasonable response (no games, just Office 360, IO Drive, H&R Block, and such). I haven't kept up with the VM world but a quick search shows VMware might be a good choice.Anyone using such a rig for the real world (i.e., not testing or as a hobby)? If it is reliable, I plan to get a hefty SilentPC to run my primary digital duopoly.Thanks. -Tom
