I have a brand new installation that I’m testing on VMWare. It has two collections: a small SharePoint site and an SMB share of about 13,000 documents. When I search it takes between 10 and 15 seconds to return results. If I search for something that has no results it will return immediately.
So far, I’ve:
1. Increased the second hard drive on VMWare to 90GB
2. Increased the RAM on the VM to 4GB
3. Increased the number of CPUs to two
Any other suggestions?
