A developer's Type 2 hypervisor is performing inadequately when compiling new source code. Which of the following components should the developer upgrade to improve the hypervisor's performance?

Compiling source code requires significant memory to load the compiler, source files, and generate intermediate and output files efficiently. Insufficient RAM on the host system or allocated to the virtual machine can cause the system to rely heavily on slower disk-based swap space, leading to a substantial performance bottleneck for the Type 2 hypervisor and its guest OS.

NIC performance primarily affects network-bound operations, not local CPU or memory-intensive tasks like code compilation.

While storage IOPS can impact compilation speed if I/O is a bottleneck, RAM is generally a more critical factor for compilation workloads on a hypervisor, as memory contention often forces more disk I/O.

A dedicated GPU is primarily for graphics processing and computations, which is typically not a bottleneck for general source code compilation.
