Not here to name names. Provider uses SolusVM. Click "manage" and I make coffee. Come back, still loading.

Measured: 8.3s median, 12s worst case, n=20. Same datacenter, my other box with different provider, 1.2s. Both OpenVZ unfortunately, virtualization tax is real, but 7x difference is not the tax.

Suspect provider-specific database issue. Their node page shows "query time: 4.7s" in footer. Anyone else seeing this pattern? Not asking for pitchforks, just data.

Same provider I think cant login half the time their api times out too not just you

I noticed similar slowness with a provider in Singapore last year. Their SolusVM database was on the same node as customer VMs. After they moved it to a separate management server, the load time dropped to under two seconds. Perhaps worth checking if your provider has the same architecture.

Ran yabs on the node during peak. Disk io 180 MB/s, meh network. But mysql benchmark on their status page: 47 queries/sec. For comparison, my Hetzner box does 3400. Decent disk IO, meh network, catastrophic database

Solusvm is a toy anyway. Real server runs ipmi. The cloud in scare quotes. Bare metal. Workstation class minimum. Your 8 seconds is what you get for renting slices on oversold nodes. Virtualization tax plus incompetence tax
