Why should CPU and memory consumption be used to identify bottlenecks?

Provisioning Services (PVS) relies heavily on CPU and memory resources to efficiently stream vDisks to target devices and manage their associated cache files. If the PVS server experiences excessive CPU and memory consumption, it will struggle to process read requests and data transfers, causing significant delays in loading vDisks and cache files, which directly impacts virtual machine boot times and application launch performance.

Excessive CPU and memory on the vDisk store (storage) does not primarily slow down the PXE boot process; high CPU/memory on the PVS server or network congestion is a more direct cause for slow vDisk loading.

Excessive CPU and memory consumption does not directly increase fragmentation of the TFTP bootstrap file; fragmentation is a disk-level issue unrelated to runtime CPU/memory utilization.

Excessive CPU and memory consumption on a server does not directly increase fragmentation of vDisks; vDisk fragmentation is a storage management characteristic.
