Windows Azure Virtual machine performance

I am trying to migrate my applications from GoDaddy virtual machine to Azure Virtual machine.

I want to have 1 VM as a database server and another VM as webserver, but it works extremely slow in that case, I installed DB on the same server as web application and it's fast.

So the question: How can I increase performance between two virtual machines? Both are located in "East US", is it some way to may be locate both in the same box...? What can you suggest?

Affinity Group is the way to go. Configure both VM in the same affinity group will co-locate those two VMs.

Found the issue. It's not Azure, it's problem with MySQL database. I have to set parameter

skip-name-resolve

in my.ini file, and not it's as fast as when both located on the same server.

Make sure you have the VM's in the same affinity group so the machines are geolocated together by the Fabric Controller i.e. in East US

Machines in the sames Cloud Service and affinity group should have lightening direct network traffic, can you run some ping tests between them on the same affinity group and share with us plz.

e.g. RDP in and run ping from the command line.

As stated above the beefer the machines the better the bandwidth/network traffic, scaling up the SQL machine is advisable.
