Nate Berkopec(@nateberkopec):Little's Law shows why you can pay more for faster server instances. work in progress = req/sec * sec/req if we decrease sec/req by 25%, we have 25% less work in progress, so you can buy 25% less instances. there's loss along the way so it's not exact but the principle holds!
