Getting a tiny text file on a slow Alpha emulator gives 5 req/sec.
Which is damn good compared to the 22 req/sec on 4 VCPU x86-64.
But then it is probably not a CPU issue.

I suspect that performance on that slow Alpha emulator would be
bad doing something more CPU intensive (like actually running PHP).

The interesting number comparison is:

Apache: 5 req/sec
OSU: 100 req/sec
