Let me look into what can be done - I had been looking at your github repo, which Performance Cloud instance would be equivalent to your i7 results?

Excellent. I don't mean to put you on the spot. :) But I did figure this was an opportunity to ping Rackspace again in case you might be interested in running our test suite on your virtual servers.
The i7 hardware we test on is just our workstations, which are possibly similar to your Performance 1 8GB, but you would probably be able to map it more accurately. Specifically, they are Sandy Bridge i7-2600Ks with 8GB of memory.

We've asked Rackspace to run our suite and the introduction [1] still contains the following sentence: "How does EC2 compare to, say, Rackspace Cloud? We don't have the data now, but if you have a Rackspace Cloud account and are willing to run the full test suite, we'd like to be able to render that here."
We'd love to see Rackspace Performance Cloud as another hardware tab alongside our current i7 and EC2 results.
Separately, we had a contributor who put together some Windows Azure scripts but we've not heard from him for a while and I think we need someone else to volunteer to pick that up.
