@tolbrino The docker image being built does not use the release build of the hoprd and is therefore slower, the difference is brutal:

VPS with the docker image (using the debug build of hoprd):

INFO     root:test_stress.py:124 The websocket stress test ran at 99.24887096225116 packets/s/node

Binary with of the release build is ~8 times faster:

INFO     root:test_stress.py:124 The websocket stress test ran at 765.0366038192878 packets/s/node

Expected Behavior

The docker image needs to use the release build version of the hoprd binary.

Current Behavior

The docker build uses a debug binary without the release optimizations.
