Often said and usually is.

No, it is not 2x :-{  Nope, nope, nope.

X86VMS$ @vups.com
innotek GmbH VirtualBox with 2 CPU and 7574MB running VMS V9.2
Approximate System VUPs Rating : 285.1 ( min: 283.0 max: 286.6 )

A much more modest improvement on the 2021 report of 244.9, perhaps 12%.

Cannot explain this.  Sigh.  Obviously ran VUPS.COM several times, over
multiple boots, to obtain and confirm all these results.  Suspiciously close
to exactly 50% of the original report (or 200% of this one).
