Hi John.

Yes, I set the disable_smap in the system and rebooted, but it doesn't 
seem to help.  That setting supposedly prevents the host from rebooting.

On a Windows Server 2012 R2 I am getting the following networking 
performance with iperf (default settings).

Client -> VM  903Mbps
VM -> Client  572Mbps

I am focused on small business systems and protecting their data, so 
these numbers are more than good enough.

thanks,

Geoff
