I have a four core VPS. It has an e5-2690v2 in it. That CPU should yield Passmark's single threaded test results in the 1800. Yet I'm only getting 1350ish, after a fresh restart and nothing else running.
What sort of results do others get?

You are probably seeing a virtualization hit with that benchmark. I don't have an unmanaged windows VDS available to test, unfortunately.

Re: VPS Single Threaded CPU Passmark Benchmark
That's what I'm wondering as well. That's a pretty large big % hit though. I thought Xen had a pretty low visualization overhead. I mean...thats what..20%ish of the top of my head.
Re: VPS Single Threaded CPU Passmark Benchmark
That is certainly lower than I'd expect. It could be that it heavily uses instructions that have to be emulated (instead of being run directly on the hardware), which would make it run poorly in virtualized environments, or that it does a lot of context switching. Both of those come up with certain games, as well.
