You're in much greater danger of having poor performance and downtime from your own code rather than anything to do with your host. So, before you jump ship from one to another based on benchmarks, think about how much time and effort such a move will take and ask yourself what you could spend it on. If you're running a web app, my bet is you'll get a much better ROI on time if you pick an expensive DB query you're running and try to analyze/optimize it. All that said, if you haven't yet picked a host, this does offer some interesting insights. Still, I would rank APIs, GUIs, management panels, and helpful support as way, way more important than raw performance.
