It may be true but why does powervps give one of the lowest benchmark scores that I have seen on this board? What is different about it compared to others and why can't they improve the situation?

From DEHE's starter package (256mb), this is after updating the system and installing misc. stuff. No control panel (Cpanel/Plesk/etc) was installed on this system. Guess I'm the slowest of the pack on DEHE eh?

Hi Alystair,
I could be mistaking but from the top of my head your VPS was placed on an isolated node in the past due to load issues with your VPS but I could be mistaking there. If you can contact open a support ticket and specifically ask for me (Andre) I'll check this for you.0

Nope, I wasn't moved due to load issues (heck the server isn't even live yet!), just needed the latest version of CentOS so you moved me to a new server with Virt3.0 on it. I go by the same name on your own forums, one of your happiest customers
I'm not too concerned about this benchmark, but I'll take you up on the ticket. The real test comes when we start having people hit the server.0

This is also on a PowerVPS server. I'm planning up upgrading soon, as I have noticed the server resouces is pretty much constantly between 40% and 60%. I'm not sure if that's right though?

Looks like I squeezed into Unixshell just in time before they locked off taking new orders 'til mid May. Overall I'm seriously loving the performance so far. Times better than powervps. Happy customer.

I've run the test 4 more times with values of:
86.3 at 11:32
89.7 at 12:06
91.6 at 12:46
93.0 at 15:34
I tried placing a heavier load on the server (by running a DBDesigner sychronisation of a database with over 100 tables) and I checked the site's responses during testing. The synchronisation did not notably affect test results (the 89.7 value is actually higher than the test just prior) and the site's responsiveness was as fast as normal during the test.Moontrail.com0

stayalive: 87 is a solid score, 12 points really isn't SUCH a big deal. if you're happy with your servers performance, stick with it. don't let numbers from this wildly controversial benchmarking utility make you go hunting for a new VPS!
My score on my freedom plan used to be at 45-50 on my old node, there was something wrong with the server, everythign was sluggish. i moved to another node, i'm now at 86-95 which i'm happy with. plus performance is fantastic, loads are super low, no issues at all, so i don't care about those numbers! (as long as they weren't like 12!)0

The average I got of all 10 scores over three days was 85.5 with a range of 77.2 to 94.0. There was no noticeable difference in web site performance between any of those scores.
I suggest that you run the tests a few more times. However, even a score consistently lower than the 99.8 reported by Extreme75 would not necessarily mean that your server is overloaded.
I believe that the primary values of this unixbench is to identify very low perfomance (say, significantly below 50, but that is just a rough figure) or to determine if noticable site sluggishness is due to a server overload or another link in the chain. For example, if my VPS running in the historical range of 77-94 suddenly returns a 15 while the site is noticably loading slow, I'll contact my provider about the VPS performance to see what they can do. However, if my site is loading slow while returning an 80, I'll run other diagnostics such as a traceroute to determine where else the problem might lie (in reality though, I'd probably run traceroute first as it is a quicker test).Moontrail.com0

you guys place too much importance on these scores IMHO
If you like we can tweak a node to give you insance scores, Ive seen it personally near 200 for a ve. This can not last on a healthy full node with everyone actually using resources at peak hours.Greg Landis | Director of Growth Jaguarpc - Unlock Superior Hosting with JaguarPC

But all i need is good stable vps and with good performance i ran those test before moving my account to jpc just to be sure its not overloaded or something messed up cause i see that max ram on that server is 4 gb instead of 8gb as advertised on the site, if i am not mistaken.

You must be setup on a fresh node that ran short on ram. I just ordered 24gig ram to added to a few such nodes. If yours isnt 4gig ram rest assure we know about it and you'll receive a mailing when we plan to add the rest. Should be early next week.
