S3 vs EBS

Our Production environment is hosted on AWS. We run Jaspersoft which generates the reports for the users.
My questions is how fast is S3 when compare to EBS.  I understand EBS is faster compared to S3 but the problem why we can't use EBS in our scenario is because of the limitation that it can only be attached to a single instance and we're not sure in which instance the user request will be sent by the load balancer.

Could someone please help.

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

S3 is not a working storage like EBS, although you can mount a file system over it.
Performance for an application that needs a regular F: drive will be crappy.

USe EFS instead - a new service that acts as a CIFS share.
