Dedicated linode 16 core worse than AWS 2 core

My first question comes to mind is, if you’re comparing a 2core system to a 16 core system, do you need 16 dedicated cores for what you are running?

Hi @niall - that definitely doesn't sound right. I suggest you open a ticket and ask our staff to eliminate any potential issues on our end.

Yes, I need 16 cores.

Its running at about 5% - 15% across all cores yet I see timeouts for a ping which is 20 seconds.

Where along the Internet is the loss ocurring?

mtr is helpful here - in both directions.

Its happening on the box so localhost -> localhost, there is a timeout waiting for a response.

It looks as if there has been some sort of a host-wide pause/suspend as it occurred across several services at roughly the same time there is no network involvement its localhost only.
