The different performance states are dynamically managed by Windows in conjunction with hardware and platform firmware to respond to varying workload requirements. . The 3 default plans exposed by Windows provide varying tradeoffs of performance vs. power consumption. For example, if the High Performance power plan is selected, Windows places the system in the highest performance state and disables the dynamic scaling of performance in response to varying workload levels. Therefore, special care should be taken before setting the power plan to High Performance as this can increase power consumption unnecessarily when the system is underutilized. In some cases you may experience degraded overall performance on a machine when running with the default (Balanced) power plan. The issue may occur irrespective of platform and may be exhibited on both native and virtual environments. The degraded performance may increase the average response time for some tasks and cause performance issues with applications To change a power plan: Click on Start and then Control Panel. From the list of displayed item under click on which takes Control Panel Power Options, you to Select a power plan page. If you do not see Power Options, type the word 'power' in the Search Control Panel box and then select Choose a power plan. By default, the option to change power plans is disabled. To enable this, click the Change settings that are currently unavailable link. Choose the High Performance option Close the Power Option window. Disable non-essential services A default installation of Windows Server enables several services that may not be required in a BizTalk Server environment. Each running service consumes system resources and so unnecessary services should be disabled to improve overall performance. Care should be when disabling services. Thoroughly research the purpose of a service before disabling the service as Windows Server requires certain services are running. If services required by Windows Server are disabled, the operating system may become inoperable and possibly even unable to boot. To disable Windows Server services that are not required for a dedicated BizTalk Server, follow these steps: 1. Open Services (also available in Administrative Tools). 2. In the Status column, each service that is running is labeled "Started." Stop and disable any service that is started unnecessarily. For example, the following services are not required on a dedicated BizTalk Server: Alerter   DHCP Server Fax Service 
