Talking about a Xeon CPU in a context vacuum is like talking about a car.
A car is anything between 100€ rust bowl on wheels and a multi million € vehicle.
So either we need a benchmark score like Passmark (or other platform of choice) score for single and multicore or your cpu model.
Giving a piHole VM 1 or 2 cores from a CPU with a single core performance equal to a Raspberry Pi 3 is quite obvious why it isnt performing as well as say a shiny new Ryzen 7900X.
Context is key.
Mine runs in docker with full hardware access (no cpu/ram limits) on a i5-1135g7. The performance is (to me) pretty good.
BUT I only tried a comparison with unbound which gave me so-so results.
