Same experience. I remember opening a .docx in Word and watching it hang or studder at different operations. I think you'd need very reliable and low latency networking for this to be anything but a painful to use toy.
I'd be curious to see how it works running on EC2, especially with an S3 endpoint in the VPC. Although I still think you'd be better suited by using S3 as an object store, given the option to built it right.
