Check the MTU inside of the guest. If it’s at 1500, then it’s likely that you’ll experience significant packet fragmentation and severely degraded performance.

I usually force MTU to be 1400 inside of my guest, either by preconfiguring the image or by setting the MTU via the DHCP agent.

A manual configuration whilst the instance is running will confirm this. Try: ‘ip link set eth0 mtu 1400’
