Answer 1

Amazon EC2 t2.micro instances have "Low to Moderate" network bandwidth. This is likely causing a bottleneck.

I recommend moving to the T3 family of instances, which have higher network bandwidth.

I also recommend that you try various instance types to see whether this fixes the problem. They are only charged by the second, so it will not cost much to try them.
