## 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 | 8.6 GB/s | 3 | 3.02% |
| Scale higher is better | 8.15 GB/s | 3 | 2.74% |
| Add higher is better | 8.93 GB/s | 3 | 3.71% |
| Triad higher is better | 9.14 GB/s | 3 | 5.94% |

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

| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 1.25 GB/s | 3 | 0.198% |

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 | 5.67 ms | 3 | 3.76% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 176/s | 3 | 1.5% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 20.7 ms | 3 | 42.8% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 165/s | 3 | 4.8% |

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