VirMach’s High CPU policy was back when the VPSs were on OVZ6. Since with OVZ, if you burst into a significantly high CPU usage you will affect your “neighbors”.

With KVM, on the other hand, it doesn’t really affect your neighbors much at all (sure, just like you’ve described, there is still a minor effect).

No!.. It's not a minor effect!.. CPU contention between VMs is as real as it is between Containers, as I've tried to explain previously.

But again, the benchmark only ran for an extremely short amount of time so things should be fine.

That's not what your posted image says!.. ie 28m 17sec.

Unixbench is a system benchmark (not CPU only) and it generally take 20+ minutes, well above the 5min limitation.

Given that I've never heard of Virmach before joining this forum, I'm not quite sure of their reputation and how well they enforce their AUP, if at all. But I would rather stay on the safe side of the bargain.

As for Unixbench, thank you very much for your great comment! I wanted to avoid Geekbench altogether as the trial mode is not as in depth... Unixbench should do the trick.

The point is that Geekbench in trial mode was USED in other reviews, hence its scores should be another point of comparisons between VPS's CPUs. That's all.
