Number of mashup engine containers
l2aFa,
When you tweak the number of mashup engine containers, it will require B’s resources and affect your machine B’ s performance. In your scenario, if you only have live datasets, the On-Premise Gateway will act as in a pass along mode, passing the data to the source, getting the results and passing it back to the Power BI Service, the query will be executed at the source side(Machine A). In this case, I don’t think you have to change the “MashupDefalutPoolConainerMaxCount” setting as there are no queries running or data model at gateway side.
However, if you persist to change number of mashup engine containers , as the blog says, a recommended ceiling for the maximum number of containers you can use is roughly twice the number of cores in your local machine(B) processor.

Lydia
