6. Balance the workload across multiple processor cores by using functions such as Receive Side Scaling

Operating system performance
Complete the following steps until the problem is solved:
1. If you have recently made changes to the server (for example, updated device drivers or installed
software applications), remove the changes.
2. Check for any networking issues.
3. Check the operating system logs for performance related errors.
4. Check for events related to high temperatures and power issues as the server might be throttled to help
with cooling. If it is throttled, reduce the workload on the server to help improve performance.
5. Check for events related to disabled DIMMs. If you do not have enough memory for the application
workload, your operating system will have poor performance.
6. Ensure that the workload is not too high for the configuration.
