I'm trying to figure out the cheapest possible hardware required for my servers.

The software is written in c++ and is highly efficient, the most computationally intensive thing it has to do is creating plain TAR files on the fly so the requirements are probably very low.. however, I still want to test this out since I'd be getting a whole bunch of these cheapo servers.

Is there any VM software or something else that would allow me to emulate low CPU/disk performance?

With PCem you can emulate a Pentium 233 Mhz with an IDE drive - if it is responsive on that, it would run great on the cheapest and most overprovisioned of the VPS

Or you could run it on an older computer of yours
