Okay, I give up. The micro instance has 600MB of RAM and 30GB of hard disk. It has taken around 2.5 days since I started the mustella run and it has not finished yet. It took more than 24 hours to just compile the tests. And it has written over 17 million times to the page file on the hard disk. That is where the costs are racking up :-)
I am going to see what it takes to upgrade to a Mini instance. Any recommendations on what I should expect on a mini instance?
