Wasn't it agreed a long time ago that benchmarking against a VM was a bad idea?


It is a great idea when your production environment is a VM.


Possibly, although we believe it represents precisely what we wanted to test: a realistic production environment.

However, we also tested on our physical i7 hardware. Did you happen to scroll down? :)


I did, but didn't see a pretty graph for it. Full production results are interesting, but benchmarks should test on a single variable. A cloud VM adds several to the mix.
