nginx performance on Amazon EC2

[David | StyleFlare]

Really you would have to do this test on 2 amazon servers and then see 
if one was more performant.
Then you can assume something is wrong.

Based on the configs everything looks right.

The fact that your vmware server is better performing, is really not 
saying much. Its really hard to directly compare.

I would presume so many other factors.

Is the vmware box on a local network?
