Hetzner experiences

Well, it took them about 2 office hours to deliver my servers, so they are quite efficient when they are onsite.

CPU model:  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-26xx (Sandy Bridge)
Number of cores: 1
CPU frequency:  1999.999 MHz
Total amount of RAM: 992 MB
Total amount of swap:  MB
System uptime:   2:52,       
I/O speed:  594 MB/s
Bzip 25MB: 8.31s
Download 100MB file: 69.3MB/s

Good I/O speed in the benchmark, but the Bzip result is roughly the same as with Digital Ocean. The reported clock speed is 200MHz / 10% faster. One more thing that I noticed is that ping times are somewhat slow (~100ms category) from my location. Usually I ping to central Europe in 40-60ms.
