## CPU

| Version | Single-core | Multi-core | Result link |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Geekbench 7 | 810 | 801 | [Geekbench Browser](https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/cpu/611756) |

Scores from different Geekbench versions aren't comparable with each other. Charts only use Geekbench 7.

## Memory, TLS and scheduler

### Memory bandwidth (STREAM)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Copy higher is better | 9.29 GB/s | 3 | 0.502% |
| Scale higher is better | 7.78 GB/s | 3 | 0.469% |
| Add higher is better | 8.91 GB/s | 3 | 0.601% |
| Triad higher is better | 8.64 GB/s | 3 | 0.28% |

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

### TLS and crypto (OpenSSL)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RSA 4096 signs higher is better | 162/s | 3 | 0.107% |
| RSA 4096 verifies higher is better | 11,313/s | 3 | 0.215% |
| SHA-256 higher is better | 871 MB/s | 3 | 1.57% |
| AES-256-GCM higher is better | 2.72 GB/s | 3 | 0.092% |
| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 1.05 GB/s | 3 | 0.0724% |

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 | 5.1 ms | 3 | 0% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 194/s | 3 | 0.297% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 9.56 ms | 3 | 1.02% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 194/s | 3 | 0.0621% |

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

k6 with a fixed number of virtual users, 60 to 62 s per level, after a 21 s warmup. The error rate counts responses that weren't a 200. Wagtail ran the way bakerydemo ships it: uWSGI with 2 workers of 4 threads each, whatever the box, and Postgres and Redis on stock settings. Memory peaked with Wagtail at 289 MB, Postgres at 150 MB, and Redis at 9 MB.
