I've only used the vps as a private VPN to read news/reddit.
I moved everything on it to ultravps.eu 4GB SAS special KVM and a storage KVM, in Q2/2019.

Ultravps have transparently been upgrading hypervisor hardware behind-the-scenes to their standard 3.0Ghz E5v2 nodes.
I think it's darn good value for the price if you're on a $20 max yearly budget for a very high-uptime KVM.
This particular vps has 99.99 % uptime. It's where I planned to stick my self-hosted DNS at one point.
Zilore uptime for 2020:
Note:
I'll hit 'cancel immediately' on Monday 2300 GMT if there are no takers by then.
Zero transfer fee payable to me. Hence posted to FREE offers section.
Next Invoice generation is due on 14/15th Oct 2020.

Anticipating the request for yabs bench, I initiated a run after creating this thread. (minus Geekbench5, see OP)
Interesting changes on QoS throttling for Disk IO and network.
I remember 4k IOPS being at 20k-40k range back in the day.
This certainly looks like Hypervisor level QoS limits on SmartOS. Good for them. @UltraVPS
6K iops is nothing to scoff at. Especially if it's guaranteed, thanks to QoS.
Likewise, network outbound looks to be capped to 500Mbit. Interesting.
Not a deal-breaker for me, but I thought it important enough to paste here.
it's ZFS , iops may be lower than the typical raid?
theoretically the benefit here is perhaps data integrity
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
If anything, you'd see crazy high iops to the freshly created testfile , because new random IO hits the ARC (hypervisor ram).
ZFS cached SAS KVM performs similar to this SSD VPS .
I pinged it ONCE and it SHAKED my entire TERMINAL.
