This article has the amount of RAM for ec2 servers off by one tier of service. It lists small as 613M, when that is the micro size for RAM; small has 1.7G.

It raises the question of whether he was comparing like sized servers in the benchmarks.

I once for the sake of it create a four node HPC cluster using Micro instances in the Amazon Cloud.

Performance was dreadful

Too much of cheap skate to test other instance sizes.

I might try the free options in azure but then comparison wouldn't be like for like
