A EC2 micro vs. the GCE big version (I'm not familiar enough with GCE). I'll note a HUGE factor is missing: the word 'cost' isn't even in the article. How much more (or less) are you paying for the apparent increase in performance?

If you want real useful info, go to a industry site not a pop tech chat board like HN.
