couldcause an index scan that reads 34 MB to take more than a second (1.2 sec).. we do know that our dataset doesn't
fitthe memory and we were ok with that but with IO being so slow we just don't know what to do anymore. Any other
suggestionsother than contact AWS (which we did but it seems this path won't lead anywhere).
The performance of EBS is definitely a question for AWS. I can say that, in our experience, EBS mounts for RDS almost
neverapproach the stated maximum throughput, although io2 tends to be closer than gp2 or gp3.
