Agreed

I don't.  Jenkins master really needs to have the profile of a database 
server were the slaves don't need as much IO and can run fine on systems 
with limit IO.  As a stop gap converting his slave to master might work 
but just like using the servers housed in my home is a stop gap I would 
put that in the same list.  The limited IO we have seen from that VM 
would slow down everything just like the EC2 instance.  Granted we don't 
need ssd raid 10 array in the box but a decent sata raid controller or 
even better a sas will allow faster builds and room for growth.
