While 2 vCPU and 4GB of RAM should be plenty for very low-end use, it's quite possible that with both Tomcat (Java) and guacd on that host trying to do gaming that you're running into resource constraints. Since you're using AWS, I'd suggest trying a few different instance sizes to see if you're able to get any better performance by increasing available resources. You could also try putting Guacamole Client (Tomcat) on a separate instance from guacd and see which of the two is really driving the resource consumption. Since it's all on the same network and in the same region the network connectivity between guacd and Guacamole Client shouldn't be a problem. -Nick >
