-serverJVM option has a significant influence on the results. CPU benchmark also affects the way how the server distributes builds among agents. If a build duration estimate cannot be calculated for an agent (there were no builds in the history ran on this agent), TeamCity chooses the fastest agent basing on the CPU benchmark value.the pool the agent belongs to

Agent reboot is performed by executing an OS-specific command. Under certain circumstances the command might need customization specific to the OS environment. Additional configuration might be required if the default reboot command fails.
To tweak the agent reboot, add the teamcity.agent.reboot.command agent configuration parameter to the buildagent.properties file with the command to execute when reboot is required. Example configuration:
or
