Has anybody benchmarked login performance with this setup? I'm currently seeing 25-45sec login times since enabling FSLogix (Premium SA with 1024gb quota).

 

The "Please wait for FSLogix" bit seems to take the lions share of that. Login times are <10sec with FSLogix disabled.

 

Is this normal?

    Is this happening on every log on? or just on profile creation

      Stefan Georgiev  Every logon, I've got the times down to around 25sec now (15 of that is the loading FSLogix Profile bit) by ramping up the storage account to 1024GB (we only need 80gb, so seems a bit of a waste) so storage performance does seem to have an ever diminishing benefit.

       

      Just trying to understand if this is normal/acceptable - if it is, the 'costs' are almost certainly worth the benefits of using FSLogix anyway.

        townendk  For small # of users and size, you probably be OK with the standard tier. Benefits for premium comes from a larger scale, when users can pool resources and get benefits of higher IOPS/throughput of a large premium share.  Did you try with standard tier? Please make sure large file shares is enabled to get increased scale for the standard tier.
