Why does MIMIC run slow sometimes?
When we encounter this question, often the answer is “because other software is hogging the system”. All bets are off if MIMIC has to compete on the system with other software. If you want to run MIMIC with predictable performance, then you have to cut down on interference from other software running on the system. This not only includes the bundled services we have identified for the supported OS platforms, ie. Windows Services and Linux daemons. but also applies to any other third-party programs that run concurrently, including Virus checkers, Automatic Software Updates such as Windows Automatic Updates, or any other background processes. The first step to check for interference is always a process listing, such as that displayed by Windows Task Manager, and the top utility on Unix. The tricky part is that interference can be sporadic, short-lived and quite hidden, thus sometimes hard to track down. For that reason, if you care about MIMIC performance, we highly recommend running MIM
