Cloudera in VM player is really slow

[#1]

Hello,

I am a newbie to Cloudera, so give me some slack

I  assigned 4 cores and 8GB to my Cloudera VM in VMware players. It seemed to be working fine. After several suspends, restarts, and queries, the system becomes really slow and I cannot pinpoint why. I am not doing anything special, simple queries to small 100k tables. I even reinstalled the VM, restoring its speed, but with later degradation. 

I was never able to get Cloudera Manager working, it just stays there.

How can I diagnose what is making my system so slow? I am running this in an i7 8th gen with 16GB RAM

Note: I usually get a message of an unresponsive script like , "Script: http://quickstart.cloudera:888…ery.nicescroll.7958d4c833ae.js:1990"

Thank you for your inputs.

Cheers.

@olracmarques  Below community thread might help.

But I would strongly suggest to start with 10GB RAM at least for using Cloudera Manager in VM.
