Just for kicks I recently upgraded from Vultr’s regular Cloud $5 instance to their High Frequency one at $6 to see if I could tell any difference in speed and such for an extra $1/mo ; )
I haven’t run any benchmark tests but I can tell Discourse is faster, the upgrade process was quicker and so were backups.
So from an “eyeballing” perspective, I’m seeing quite a bit of difference from the upgrade.
