Unless the t2 is a special case, because even the biggest instances are fucking teeny. I'll have to see if my Amazon insider buddy knows anything about t-series hardware.

That's the biggest they have, a whopping 2 CPU.
Basically, t-series boxes are underprovisioned. You only own a slice of those one or two cores, but as you go up in size, your slice of the CPU time increases. So t2.nano has 3 CPU credits and access to 1 core, but those 3 credits mean you can only max out the core for 3 minutes an hour before you start digging into your credit reserve. The t2.medium we're on now has 2 core and 24 CPU credits, which means that we can run both cores full throttle for 12 minutes an hour. A t2.large would give us 18 minutes an hour. An m3.medium would actually give us a little less RAM than our t2.medium, but would supply us 100% of 1 core. I'm not sure that's enough though, we'd probably need a m[n].large.
