Some people have said that Contabo limit i/o on their SSD VPSes, and that the limit can be raised/removed with a ticket.
To what extent this is true (and whether it applies to all customers), I can't say, because I've never had a VPS with them.
"A single swap file or partition may be up to 128 MB in size. [...] [I]f you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 49)
@Iroshan464 said: This is after support request. They said they did some tweaking.
What do you think now?
Well, the results from fio are definitely better, so I guess that it really is true that Contabo limit i/o on their SSDs.
(Personally, I'm not such a fan of this policy: "We limit the i/o, but you submit a ticket and ask nicely, we may increase the limit, but it's preferable if no one knows about this possibility.")

I am very pleased especially by the single core and the network performance (shared Gigabit).
Compared to the benchmark of a friend of mine (he got the VPS Ostern S), I think that somehow zfs (with compression) performs way worse than ext4 in terms of speed as you might notice. But I must say, I am very happy with my new server. Additionally, I can say that I got an AMD CPU! (cat proc/cpuinfo returns vendor_id : AuthenticAMD).
All in all, I think I got quite a decent deal here, but keep in mind that nested virtualization is disabled. That's no problem for me, despite the fact I am using proxmox, but it could be a turnoff for others.
Old result seems too low! How could it change so much in new result? I hope the performance keeps stable, dont go up and down like jo-jo.
BTW, I was looking at their offer. Anyone goes with them for long time?

Believe the original setting was heavily limited both on CPU and network. It will eventually get crowded anyway.
I put this together today to track YABS stats. Not very polished yet, but it's a start. Shows the # of runs and unique machines running YABS everyday. This is using cloudflare analytics API. I set up a script to update the data daily.

Looks like we're averaging ~100 YABS runs per day, which is quite a bit more than I was expecting!
Will you consider adding ram speed test?
It was brought up once before, but there didn't seem to be enough interest to add it in. I think most people (myself included) really don't know what "good" vs "bad" RAM speed looks like nor would it really affect them in any meaningful way under most circumstances (as long as the performance isn't shit, I guess. lol)

I got a Netcup Ostern VPS M that is currently running Proxmox with ZFS and compression enabled.
