Thanks a lot for Kevin for this - I stupidly overlooked the S3 put cost thinking EC2->S3 transfer was free, without realising there is still a PUT cost... I will reconsider and look at copying your approach and compare it with a few rendering EC2 instances running off mysql or so. Thanks again. Tim
