This has been my experience as well - you can't even run a tiny web service with a few users on it, anything more intense than serving static pages can result in the instance sometimes becoming unresponsive. It's fine for playing around with but not something you really want to use with anything serving users.

I had to run a few small Clojure web apps for a customer on micro instances because only a few people would use them simultaneously, someone other than myself thought this was a good idea. I ended up running them using "nice" to keep the CPU use away from 100% and that solved the issue of being throttled. YMMV
