I once for the sake of it create a four node HPC cluster using Micro instances in the Amazon Cloud.

Performance was dreadful

Too much of cheap skate to test other instance sizes.

I might try the free options in azure but then comparison wouldn't be like for like

This article has the amount of RAM for ec2 servers off by one tier of service. It lists small as 613M, when that is the micro size for RAM; small has 1.7G.

It raises the question of whether he was comparing like sized servers in the benchmarks.

If you really want to be surprised add some results for dedicated servers like Hetzner and SecuredServers.
