Fixing instance types was probably wrong.

You’re getting progressively legacy (and more likely to be degraded) hardware. This impacts how tightly packed the instance type as a whole is, which impacts launch instance performance




Fixing instance types was probably wrong.

Depends what you're trying to measure, I think? My goal as a FreeBSD developer is to look at FreeBSD performance -- this is both to show the improvements which have been made over the years and to alert me to any performance regressions (I generate these graphs automatically when I build the weekly snapshots).

If you want to compare EC2 to other clouds you would definitely want to use the latest instance generation, of course.
