UnixBench is a good VPS performance testing tool under Linux, now let's talk about the specific usage.

ssh Log in to your linux vps console and run the following 1 line command:

wget http://www.CTOHome.com/linux-vps-pack/unixbench.sh ;sh ./unixbench.sh;

This script will automatically download the unixbench test tool and run it automatically. Depending on your machine's performance, it takes about 5-10 minutes to complete the test.

The results of the Linux VPS performance test are similar as follows:

FINAL SCORE 354.5

This is the total score of my VPS, 2.5G memory, Q6600, running KLOXO panel, hard disk has raid

Generally speaking, for VPS, the test score is more than 100 points, it is OK, there are Some low-profile P4 stand-alone servers are only 30-80 points.

VPS is a shared server resource, so don't blindly pursue high scores. The test results do not mean that you can use so many resources.
