I mentioned this in another topic and thought it might be of interest in general.

 

This site here

 

http://magebenchmark.sonassi.com/hosts/?orderby=rps&sort=DESC

 

provides an insight into the hosting performance of Magento specialist hosting companies. Any host can sign up and submit their Magento demo site for the benchmark.

 

You can drill down into minute detail on the different tests that are performed each night on the hosts package.
