<div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Hi Chunhui,</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Are you using the pre-made vGATE package? It's possible that the slow performance is due to the virtual hard drive expanding itself dynamically during the simulation. The virtual machine's hard drive is set to a maximum of 20 GB, but as you probably noticed the image file for vGATE is far less than that size. As the virtual machine's disk usage increases, the drive image is re-sized; this can slow performance significantly, especially if there's a high read/write rate or if you are running it on a 5200 RPM hard drive like on a laptop or a low power hard drive like the Western Digital "Green" line.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">If you're already using a relatively fast hard drive, one way to avoid this problem is to grow the virtual drive to its maximum size; consider copying some large files to the virtual machine, perhaps? For best performance, however, you'll need to install GATE in a native Linux environment.</font></div>
