I have seen EC2 be slower than a comparable system in development, but
not by the factors that you're experiencing. One thing about EC2 that
has concerned me - you are not guaranteed that your "/mnt" disk is an
uncontested spindle. Early on, this was the case, but Amazon made no
promises.
Also, and this may be a stupid question, are you sure that you're using
the same JVM in EC2 and development? GCJ is much slower than Sun's JVM.

No, we're outputting to MySQL. I've also verified that the MySQL
server is hardly seeing any load, isn't waiting on slow queries, etc.
If so, it isn't very surprising that you could get lower performance
with more readers.
Indeed!
