while this is interesting, I'd suggest that you try also some
lightweight high-performance HTTP servers such as Cherokee
or Lighttpd and Apache2:
http://www.cherokee-project.com/benchmarks.html#cherokee-0.10.0
http://arnisoft.com/239/server-benchmark-apache-nginx-cherokee/
I know that it introduces new degrees of freedom and complexity
in designing the experiment correctly, but it would be IMHO really
interesting to see how AWS compares.

Thanks for your effort!
