On: Nginx Requests/Second – RaspberryPi vs Amazon EC2

[CJefferson]

This is interesting. One obvious question, although a little tricky to test. Did the raspberry pi get an advantage by being in the same room as you?

If I'm not mistaken the performance test software used is running on each machine locally and just hammers the web server with local requests?

It would be interesting to try to use netem [1] to match the network characteristics of the link to his EC2 instance and run the test again.
