Here is my Contabo VPS. I upgraded it from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04. So, let us see the difference before and after.
In the Ubuntu 22.04

Oh, I forgot I ran the Geekbench 6 Benchmark test as well.
Here is the result.

Compared to the result I had about one and a half years ago. It is slower.
Single Core | 949Multi Core | 2828Full Test | https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/1483903I don’t know why. I will try to build a new VPS and see if it is better.
