+pveperf - Proxmox VE Benchmark Script
+=====================================
+include::attributes.txt[]
+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
