Ran Yabs on my late 2012 Macbook Pro -
Clean install of Manjaro on OEM 128 GB disk. While I wait for the adapter to arrive that will help me upgrade to a 512 GB SSD.
Question: Why the Zeros for disk speed?

Yikes... yeah don't think it's gonna fare well on something that old. Lots of bash-related syntax errors there. Maybe I could enforce some sort of minimum bash version or something rather than spewing out junk output.
@vyas not too sure about that one. I'd do what @LetMeBeSad suggested and install fio natively to see if it runs that way (the script will detect the locally installed version and use that instead). If that fails too, then I'd know it's not an issue with the binary that I compiled
@Not_Oles said: When running qemu on Hetzner AX101, how much difference does -cpu host and -enable-kvm make?
Nice trial and results! Very interesting
This is why I always request for CPU passthrough on any newly purchased VMs if it's not enabled by default... Those AES-NI instructions are really essential for some operations. Plus... the less time a client's VM spends processing instructions, the less impact to the load on a host node, so it's a win-win.

would be interesting to also see some middle ground, aka qemu-kvm or similar but with AES-NI enabled (which should be possible with additional settings)... as you said I guess that option alone will make a very huge difference.
@Not_Oles any chance you can add this too, pretty please ;-)

Here are results with qemu's default processor (as in the first test, above) but now flying the -enable-kvm flag. As might be expected, this third test gives an intermediate result, 1308:
KVM Status
AES Status
GB 5 Single Core Score
Off
Off
110
On
Off
1308
On
On
1524
For anybody trying to understand how KVM could be "off" in test 1, given that the processor model name -- "Common KVM processor" -- literally includes "KVM," please consider that possessing a capability is not the same as actually using the capability. It seems that calling qemu as qemu-kvm-x86_64 requires that root explicitly enable KVM with -enable-kvm in order for KVM to be used. However, when qemu is called simply as kvm then KVM is used automagically if the caller is root but not used if the caller is unprivileged.
Note that there are additional changes beyond just AES status when switching from the default "Common KVM processor" to -cpu host which is AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor.

Just a mini-update towards the Alwyzon Performance Server line: instead of Xeon® E-2174G (no longer sold), you might now get a Xeon® E-2244G (newer model) delivered instead. But no worries, those are at least as beefy as the E-2174G. 🥳

Then it should work, at least as i know Manjaro is based on Arch. Maybe there is some misconfiguration for Arch(Manjaro) tho?

Interesting. So my prebuilt fio has some issues with Manjaro (and possibly Arch?) that I'll have to investigate in the future.
Glad the fio install worked

When running qemu on Hetzner AX101, how much difference does -cpu host and -enable-kvm make?
Note -- using -cpu host without -enable-kvm gives an error:
First, without -cpu host and without -enable-kvm
Second, with -cpu host and -enable-kvm
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
Nice trial and results! Very interesting
