Since instances of both CentOS and Ubuntu were running in parallel, I could collect flame graphs at the same time (same time-of-day traffic mix) and compare them side by side. This server is spending about a third of its CPU cycles just checking the time! The CentOS flame graph: The Ubuntu flame graph: Darn, they didn't work.

Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. Recall that single-core performance most directly translates into speed on the web. Today, either method returns a similar answer. Tap for a larger version. How bad is it?
