Extremely disappointing yabs for vpsslim KVM vps...
This is a vps I have for a while and it is idle. I just had something to put in, and I ran a YABS. Those are the results... Quite bad io and cpu...

** Aborting YABS. Cleaning up files...
I quit yabs running after 35 minutes... So, that's why no cpu bench (and I initially skipped network!)
And this is from another openvz vps I have a while. Again, bad io and cpu...

Comments
that vps must be running on a floppy disk
@lirrr any thoughts on this Xeon E5 v1?
it is in expectation of ass xeon performance ngl
here too, the proof is that vpsslim/hostslim is not recommended.
At least you manage to finish your YABS. Last time I owned a VPS that would go down if I try to run YABS on it
I didn't renew any VPS there after that.
I am stuck with a 2MBPS network connection (some other provider)
The vps is good but network is causing issues
You didn't get suckered in to suffercloud did you?
Which one is that?,
It's from tencent, the vps is good in performance but network, better let's not talk about that
Huh? Is that the chinese tencent offer? On international they don't offer anything below 20 mbps
SurferCloud has advertised their amazing VPS with speeds of 1/2/5 mbps... It's basically an unusable speed for anything.
Idk really , I was probably high didn't even saw things probably
Their pricing was also crazy
50% success! On one box it finished, on the other I stopped after 30-35 minutes!
its 2025. stop using any CPU older than v4
How about a dedicated server with 2x Intel XEON E5-2650v2 ?
Is that as good as one v4 or not?
Xeon v2 doesn't have AVX2 so no, not as good as a v4.
