If you do benchmarks you should also keep in mind that EC2 micro instances are terrible because they have highly variable CPU speeds which will be greatly reduced if the CPU load is high for a short time.

This is very interesting, it's the first I've heard of this but I have experienced some issues implementing pthreads. This could be a reason.

Do you know where I might find some documentation on this?
