Re: Loopback latency issue

I wonder if it's because the virtual pc doesn't have the same amount of
processes running on it, nor physical data traffic, that your actual
workstation has to deal with. Added to that, the memory available to it -
not being used elsewhere - would improve perfoemance. Just my thinking.
