Surprising here, the Dev3 blew the BigDog away in UnixBench score!

That stinks. I should've bought a dev3 instead of a BigDog 1. But I like the extra storage.

One of the biggest things people don't know about VMs is that more doesn't always equal better.
We get all the time where someone throws more processors at a VM but then bitches when their performance sucks ass. The BigDog3 with its 8 procs might be all kewl and stuff, but it doesn't necessarily translate to better performance.
In this case, more than likely more people are on the BigDog clusters than the Dev. Performance will always come up better when it's not being oversubscribed.

The CPU is the same between between the BigDog 1 and Dev3 only difference is more ram and 20GB more storage.
Most things are going to be that good at using multiple cores. I'd rather see higher clock speeds and newer CPUs than what they are using. But it's all very old hardware. works for testing though.
