If you think this benchmark is impressive... just do some I/O benchmarking. It blows EC2 away much harder than it does for CPU. ZFS on local disks with SSDs for L2ARC, and no virtualization overhead (this obviously applies to SmartOS). Oh, and the performance is predictable and doesn't vary in time. And you have DTrace to understand your application.
