pveperf - Proxmox VE Benchmark Script
=====================================
endif::manvolnum[]

Tries to gather some CPU/hard disk performance data on the hard disk
mounted at `PATH` (`/` is used as default):

CPU BOGOMIPS:: bogomips sum of all CPUs

REGEX/SECOND:: regular expressions per second (perl performance test), should
be above 300000

HD SIZE:: hard disk size

BUFFERED READS:: simple HD read test. Modern HDs should reach at least 40
MB/sec

AVERAGE SEEK TIME:: tests average seek time. Fast SCSI HDs reach values < 8
milliseconds. Common IDE/SATA disks get values from 15 to 20 ms.

FSYNCS/SECOND:: value should be greater than 200 (you should enable `write
back` cache mode on you RAID controller - needs a battery backed cache (BBWC)).

DNS EXT:: average time to resolve an external DNS name

DNS INT:: average time to resolve a local DNS name
