Just looked into it. It's about double what I'm paying now, but a lot more
power. And a lot more confusing since you have to use IBM's website to set
it up.. haha.. And not sure if it gives you an external static IP (for
running websites). Still digging in.

Might be worth looking into the IBM Cloud Power Virtual Servers. Their
minimum is .25 core which will probably perform a bit better. Although it’s
about $380-500 per month range.

ya, that's what I'm thinking, Richard.

IBM doesn't allow me to get a dev system anymore so I moved to the cloud
with a small CPU percentage.

If you're using a low-end processor with only .05 core it will be slow.
There are lots of SSH commands being run and the SSH threads are slow.

I have found that RDI blows it away performance wise on a low-end
processor.
