Extensive Benchmarks Of Amazon's EC2 Compute Cloud Performance

With the huge system workload of compiling the Linux kernel, the m2.4xlarge and its 26 EC2 Compute Units began running well in front of the m2.2xlarge instance with its 13 EC2 Compute Units and the c1.xlarge with its 20 EC2 Compute Units.

The Bullet Physics Engine was not able to take full advantage of the higher-end Elastic Compute Cloud instances, but still these most powerful standard, high-memory, and high-CPU instances were multiple times faster than the m1.small.

The same goes for the Convex Trimesh test within Bullet.
