Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I've seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

Yeahs it's very very rare that cachy performs THAT much better. Its normal for it to be 1-3% faster then other distros since it's pretuned and all.
But beyond that... Iv only seen it have larger jumps like once or twice.
