## CPU

Geekbench was skipped because this plan has less than 2 GB of RAM, which isn't enough for Geekbench 7 to run without swap.

## Memory, TLS and scheduler

### Memory bandwidth (STREAM)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Copy higher is better | 23.8 GB/s | 3 | 2.87% |
| Scale higher is better | 16.7 GB/s | 3 | 2.41% |
| Add higher is better | 19 GB/s | 3 | 0.7% |
| Triad higher is better | 19.3 GB/s | 3 | 3.02% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.

### TLS and crypto (OpenSSL)

| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 1.52 GB/s | 3 | 11% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.

### Scheduler latency (schbench)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Request latency, median lower is better | 4.53 ms | 3 | 1.78% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 220/s | 3 | 1.72% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 10.1 ms | 3 | 2.86% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 212/s | 3 | 2.3% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.
