On Windows, each unit is taking 8 threads, is this normal? CPU is maxed, memory is not and neither is the SSD.

This is on Windows using Vbox, my Linux box can run any LHC project fine and still be responsive.

I have checked Virtual box and no old tasks are listed, in fact there are no tasks listed at all.
I have also tried resetting the project so it redownloads the .vdi files with no joy.
Lastly I tried doing both together, uninstalling Virtual box, resetting the project, then reinstalling Virtualbox, same thing, I think I am doing something really dumb here but cant figure out what?

Cheers, I think I might just stop doing theory altogether, the project seems a mess at the moment, even the native apps are failing almost instantly.

After about 10 days if work a these seemed to fail on completion, I saw a few down as failed and watched this one tick over to check and sure enough it failed on 100%

Its giving a file_xfer_error?

Native theories are still failing for me, allowed the machine to grab some and they all instantly failed, any ideas?

https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=407019270

Any way to force the box to get Vbox theories whilst still getting native Atlas tasks?, the native tasks seem to complete so much faster.

Cheers, that will teach me to troubleshoot before caffeine, ill see how I get along with it.
Does anyone know why loading up 32 VM Theory tasks lags out the PC? I saw an old thread from 2020 about it but couldn't see a resolution.

Post:
Is there any way to limit the number of units that can be run at the same time? at the moment it's downloading a load and running up to 32 at a time which is causing the machine to grind to a halt forcing me to reboot which then causes a lot of the tasks to fail.

I have tried the following config but no joy

<app_config>
<app_version>
<app_name>Theory</app_name>
<plan_class>vbox64_mt_mcore_theory</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>16.0</avg_ncpus>
</app_version>
</app_config>
