## 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 | 56.5 GB/s | 3 | 0.366% |
| Scale higher is better | 54.2 GB/s | 3 | 0.309% |
| Add higher is better | 59.5 GB/s | 3 | 0.654% |
| Triad higher is better | 61.2 GB/s | 3 | 2.08% |

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

| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 5.8 GB/s | 3 | 4.44% |

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 | 2.68 ms | 3 | 0.752% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 376/s | 3 | 0.933% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 4.97 ms | 3 | 2.23% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 365/s | 3 | 1.17% |

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