The SSD based EBS volumes (which we're using) have pretty decent burst performance (>100MB/s). I'd also like to think most of our I/O should be serviced by the page cache. I've noticed this in local builds - as long as my OS has 16+ GB memory, I/O isn't a huge concern there is external memory pressure or background dirty page flushing can't keep up with demand. I don't think I/O differences due to EBS will matter too much on these instances. aufs overhead, however... (Read bug 1291940).
