You mean when you are compiling and running ARM code directly on ARM metal, instead of running ARM code on x86, through qemu or similar? Is that a surprise?
Thanks and yes, the magnitude of it was surprising to us, and that for a common use-case. The default runners you get for Github Actions if you are compiling ARM code is x86, which uses qemu emulation. That default is 10x slower vs native ARM.
Combined also with 10x higher prices, a 100x price-perf gain vs the default was unusual.
