Conclusions:
1. You get your results faster if you pay more.
2. For cc2.8xlarge, 33% (00:19:40) of the time was loading sequences from EBS.
That's a lot !
3. The scalability on this problem is not that good because the
problem size is not very large.
4. Amazon EC2 is really affordable for de novo assemblies of bacterial genomes.
