Thanks, I also found a lot of writing on the web that suggests that a medium is the best value. However, since I'm using SQS to buffer writes to S3, I find that my app is mostly IO bound and I'm wondering if it is better to use a medium or four smalls. I couldn't find anything that specific. I guess I should make my own test and see!
