Weird
continuum brought this up in this thread that he noticed that virtual machines on esxi with snapshots were booting faster than vms without a snap.
I ran some tests.
Used the same vm windows 2008 , had a clean shutdown each time, vmware tools is installed, using a stopwatch
without snapshot the boot times were
1:18
1:12
1:07
1:14
took snap. shutdown. startup
1:03
:57
1:01
delete snap
1:09
So the vm with a snap always booted faster then a vm without a snap by a few seconds.
I would have thought the vm with out a snap would boot faster since it does not need to refer to the base disk and change disk.
See thread for continual updates.
