Cloud Mercato tested CPU performance using a range of encryption speed tests:
Cloud Mercato's tested the I/O performance of this instance using a 100GB General Purpose SSD. Below are the results:
I/O rate testing is conducted with local and block storages attached to the instance. Cloud Mercato uses the well-known open-source tool FIO. To express IOPS the following parametersare used: 4K block, random access, no filesystem (except for write access with root volume and avoidance of cache and buffer.

The CPU usage hovers around 20%-30%, and the performance is significantly slower compared to my home computer, which has 12 cores but completes optimizations faster.

I am just now trying to change the instance type and it's only letting me use the c6i platform - I was HOPING I could go to the c7g platform actually as the performance vs cost is stellar.
