Do have a read of the "the min instace time is 24 hours?" thread. It's
a treasure trove of information. Not least you are only paying the
'15-minute cost" for the number of instances under the
'max-idle-instances' setting.

So a huge burst of instances to furfil a map-reduce style task, - you
still only paying for active instances.
