My understanding is that with cloud servers, you don't actually have a particular system, you have a virtual system which can get loaded onto any of a zillion real systems. That doesn't matter much, except that your disk isn't directly attached to the system that runs your code. Your disk is part of a huge disk farm that only appears to be directly attached. So the problem is likely to have something to do with how Rackspace's disks work. One thing to check is what the basic disk I/O rate is. You can use dd to and from a really large file (much bigger than your RAM) to test that. Depending on what Rackspace has done to the OS, accessing directory information might be strange. Try doing "time file [working-copy] >/dev/null" a couple of times in a row to see how long it takes to work through directory structures.
