I remember the first time I saw the variable cpu on a micro instance, during a kernel compile. I thought the design was horribly broken. What possible use could it have?

I can only think of one use case: you write to logs continuously, and you need a bunch of cycles every five minutes or so when you rotate and compress. The T1-micro is more than adequate for that.
