only if you configured badly, I migrated 10 plus different version SQL instances from old hard system to virtual platforms include vmware and hyper-v, normally it's just good and acceptable.

normally you should ask vmware about the licenses choice and cost, generally sql server virulization it will have some negative performance effect, but you also got administration flexibility ,...

beautiful work, I check the execution plan, the main cost is on sort operator, in fact we do not need that much sort, we just need sort the credit operation...
