No.
I host several forums on Hetzner, here are the specs and rebuild time.

I’m not sure why there are discrepancies in rebuild time for the same intel servers.
ARM and AMD CPUs are way faster to rebuild, and it seems the forum’s pages are also faster to load.
Maybe I’ll move my smallest forums to ARM servers in the future and see how performances differ.
The only thing that annoys me is:
But from what I have seen, I’d recommend Hetzner’s ARM servers, at least over Intel ones, they seem faster overall.
