Under 8.4 I had a WIndows 7 32 bit VM (for a very good reason) which ran smoothly with 3GB ram (ballooned), usually using 2.2GB. Windows would show about 1GB free.
I have just upgraded (smoothly) to PVE 9 and when I fired up this VM the memory usage shot up to 3 GB and stayed there. Windows still showed small memory usage.
Thinking this could be a driver issue I turned off ballooning and rebooted. Identical behaviour!
I upped the ram to 3.5 GB, same result and Windows still saying that it's using 1.25GB.
The VM isn't running as smoothly as usual and I'm getting dreadful pops and pauses in USB DAC audio.
I hadn't noticed but the cpu usage which was usually a steady 15% has also shot up to 45% (thanks to SteveITS for spotting that).
Any ideas/help please?
Addendum, here's what memory usage looked like the last time I fired up the VM under 8.4
