VPS vs. Dedicated - New Benchmark Results
Following the discussion in previous UnixBench thread, I tweaked the benchmark to bring it closer to today's typical webhosting condition. Disk READ is weighted more in the final score, and concurrency is included in all tests. I also changed the base index to a P233MMX machine because I don't have the READ result from the original base machine.
Download: UnixBench v4.1.0 - WHT Variant
# gunzip -dvc unixbench-4.1.0-wht.tar.gz | tar xvf -
# cd unixbench-4.1.0-wht
# make
# ./Run
Please download and run it on your dedicated or VPS. Then post your result here for discussion. Thanks!

To be honest, I don't actually know. They're the standard 80gigs that LayeredTech put in

I just downloaded the archive originally posted (the non-WHT specific archive), I'll download the WHT one and see what happens.
I agree that it looks weird!
