RISC-V Performance On Ubuntu 24.04 LTS With Scaleway's EM-RV1

Indeed the performance results of the EM-RV1 on Ubuntu 23.10 vs. 24.04 were rather mixed. But again for this hardware both distribution versions were relying on an older Linux 5.10 derived kernel.

While Ubuntu 24.04 brought some nice performance improvements for x86_64 and Arm hardware, on the Elastic Metal RV1 testing the performance was looking about the same.

Rarely was there any major difference in performance for this four-core RISC-V server, given that the same kernel and compiler are at play.
