Title: The power of an Amazon EC2 small instance has remained the same for years http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types<p>With EC2 there is no steady increase each year in computing power.  It's like Moore's law has been frozen in time. EC2 server instances are looking decidedly old and underpowered.<p>Amazon gets all the benefit of hardware costs decreasing and computing power increasing over time, but no increase in power gets passed through to EC2 users.<p>Very sad.   Slow old cloud computing servers are starting to make running your own powerful modern, cheap, fast servers look attractive.<p>Will cloud computing vendors start to seriously compete on computing power?
