netbsd has kept up with Xen more aggressively, so you might have luck
getting bsd goodness squeezed into EC2 expensiveness there.  but it
sounds like freebsd is the one seriously trying to compete with linux
performance, albeit only for extremely simple tasks like LAMP hosting,
so I don't know if you're interested or not.
