You're saying that running a query across the internet to ec2 is 5 times faster than running it on dedicated hardware in the lab? I find that hard to believe.

- rallison 14y agoSorry, maybe my original post was not entirely clear. Let's take tapestry, for example. On dedicated hardware, the peak throughput in responses per second was 75,002. On ec2, it was 3,901 responses per second. So, in responses per second, the throughput on ec2 was 5.2% that of dedicated hardware, or approximately 20 times less throughput. The use of the word slowdown was possibly a bad choice, as none of my response had to do with the actual latency or roundtrip time of any request.
