Benchmarks
Here, common Minecraft server software is compared against Pumpkin.
CAUTION
This comparison is unfair. Pumpkin currently has far fewer features than other servers, which might suggest it uses fewer resources. It's also important to consider that other servers have had years to optimize. Vanilla forks, which don’t need to rewrite the entire Vanilla logic, can focus exclusively on optimizations.

NOTE
All tests have been ran multiple times for more accurate results. All players did not move when spawning. Only the initial 8 chunks were loaded. All servers used their own terrain generation. No world was pre-loaded.
IMPORTANT
CPU Max is usually higher with one player because the initial chunks are being loaded.
