Are you using memcached?  Have you tried using a PHP accelerator like APC?

As always, this depends on what's acceptable to you.  You server could
stay pegged near 100% and as long as it's responsive enough for your
needs (for now) you're fine (for now).  If it's being too slow for you
you might want to consider spreading out the various daemons.

FYI, I've heard complaints from other people that I know that have tried
EC2 that it's not nearly as "fast" as you might think.
