Anyone know?

Specs:

7.5 GB memory
4 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each)
850 GB instance storage (2�420 GB plus 10 GB root partition)
64-bit platform
I/O Performance: High
API name: m1.large

Yes, "how heavy" suffers from a lack of precision, and ... well, the
data being served is what you see: 0 to thousands of symbols and 4-5
tiny attributes for each.

This page shows the options: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

This the pricing: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/

I guess the easiest thing to do is add some metrics, start small, and
see where the beast bogs down?

Probably.
To start with, use some program like apache bench (ab).

Generally from my experience with web servers 50-100 requests per second per
CPU core is doable.

I believe the traditional approach to such questions is called "measurement"

Ah, you don't know either.

Anyway, your cherished wysiwyg math editor is on the way, thx to jsMath.
Thx for the reference! That library and its successor has a great
author. And qooxdoo is brilliant, too. Add Lisp and Cells and I should
soon rule the world.
