NEMON - you're running FreeBSD 5.2.1, which is not tuned for production environment. I've read that its kernel has many debugging options turned on. Perhaps they are slowing down your server. Your benchmark is fine except for low score in new process spawning, which points to the kernel.

Matt - could you also post the few lines above the index scores that show your system load before and after the benchmark?

Matt - thanks for posting your results. Is your P4 2.4 w/HT (512MB RAM) server by any chance running a lot of idle programs? They may take up memory space, which adversely affect new process creation and disk I/O (swapping). The score is lower than I expected for P4 2.4 w/HT.

Will the score be affected by the OS it runs? Will similarly configured server running FreeBSD performs as well as if it were running RedHat?

Yes, OS will affect the score. To what extend? That's open to debate. And let's not start a FreeBSD vs. ReHat thread here. I'd expect the scores to be comparable if the kernel and OS is fully utilizing the resources of a server.

It is a good initiative but shouldn't all those servers be idle to get a relevant comparison ?
That could mean a apachectl stop on dedicated server but that might not be enough on a vps as the host server might still be busy.
Or am i mistaking and unixbench is eating over 90% of system resources and the test is relevant indeed ?
Please coment on this.0

In the VPS environment, each VPS competes with other VPS's for CPU cycles and other system resources. Thus running UnixBench in one VPS will reveal how busy the server really is, and the level of performance to be expected for that particular VPS. Otherwise there is no way to tell. Despite the impressive server hardware and the guarantee on RAM and CPU MHz, VPS performance vary greatly as evident by these results. VPS clients could also use this benchmark periodically as "checkups".
As for dedicated servers, you're correct. Ideally one would shutdown all services before running the benchmark. The result then measures the performance capability for that particular server. However, running the benchmark under normal load is also useful in fine tuning the server. When the benchmark score is significantly lower than another comparable server, one should consider these actions: (1) check program settings (Apache, MySQL), (2) upgrade the server (more RAM, faster HD, RAID0, or faster CPU).
As long as these results are accompanied by descriptions of server states and hardware, they will be useful reference points.0

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is a higher score better? Also, is there any conclusion to VPS being able to hold its own against dedicated servers?

Higher score is better. So far, VPS underperforms dedicated servers. But VPS makes it for it with managed support and backups. See the original benchmark thread (link on page 1) for more discussion.

Would be interested in seeing the results from a couple differnet VPS hosts - I've done Adiungo... but what about Linode, Tektonic, Westhost (if there are any here that use them) etc.... just as a comparison between hosts.

Another two servers.
Obviously the benchmark does not make use of more RAM
