Hi there, i have been testing Proxmox on this machine and cant figure why i am not meeting the specs advertised for my hardware

For example, on my old i7 6700 with 16 GB ram and 1 TB HDD, with ubuntu server, doing certain DB query takes a couple of minutes.

On this current system, i would think that having 64GB ram, 12 cores, and a hardware level raid10 would make the procedure faster but instead
it takes about 2 hours for the same query

What i have done until now is about testing every possible configuration for the VMs, helping myself with chatgpt

My current configuration is: proxmox 9.0-1 with 6.17 kernel (i am doing some testing), the Proxmox OS is installed on 2 sata m.2 drives as a ZFS RAID1, machines go into the RAID10 (4 sata enterprise SSD) All the caching is enabled, disks are trimmed, drivers are installed.

I have not found the issue yet after so long, about a year of testing, moving in and out machines, i have also tested proxmox 8.4.

The only good lecture i get is on proxmox console with HDPARM -Tt that reads about 16GB/s on cache and the expected 1GB/s++ on disks
