Thanks, that might explain something I'm wondering for a while now.
I was running Postgres on a 2-core/2GB ARMv8 scaleway instance and had to migrate to AWS T2 micro (1-core/1GB)x86 when scaleway pulled the plug on ARM servers.
I expected performance decrease due to obvious reduction in HW specs, but on the contrary the application is much snappier. I don't have PG bench figures, but I can clearly notice performance improvements (discounting the network variables).
