Here is a really interesting data point.
Both systems are the exact same Supermicro Ultra 2U with dual E5-2698 V4's which have been around for some time. Same BIOS settings, same DDR4-2400 32GB DIMMs.
One is CentOS 7.4 based, one is Proxmox VE 5.1 (Debain 9 Stretch) with hugepages set to 128. Both are using docker and the xmrig priv image (av=2 mining)
CentOS 7: 6500H/s
Debian 9: 6760H/s
What is somewhat surprising is that the Debian 9 (Proxomx VE) system is running the entire Proxmox stack and ZFS.
I was quite shocked to see a Debian platform running applications still 4% ahead here, especially on a legacy platform that is a full generation old.
