All of Ed's post is more evidence: when you outsource something, your job becomes quality control. You may not be doing the work any more, but you have to do all the checking to make sure the work is done correctly. Less pessimistically... only you can monitor from your perspective and only you have the motivation to hold the vendor to high standards.
As far as what Andrew Hume pointed out... the unspoken bad news about cloud computing is that the networking aspects are not very mature and most hosting systems have unpredictable network quality. I would be interested if you could run the same test from EC2 and Google Compute Engine.
