The disk performance is comparable to those of DO/Vultr. But, even equipped with 2 x 64-bit x86 processor, CPU performance is lower than single core on $5/mo. VPS of DO/Vultr.

Since I use them as a web server, so I run ab -n500 -c500 requesting phpinfo() ..

phpinfo() 
Vultr:    2102.08 req./sec
Scaleway: 1543.10 req./sec

YMMV.
