The following is the benchmark results from my ~$2/mo VPS at RackVM. The VPS is XEN based with 128MB RAM. For such a good price, it was hard for me to resist giving it a try. I’m surprised that the service is fairly decent, although the disk does sometimes lag. But for my requirements, the VPS is well worth it.
Results Overview

| CPU | Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5504 @ 2.00GHz |
| Hypervisor | XEN-PV |
| Memory | 128 MB |
| Disk | ? GB |
