I am really interested in the S3 service. I am interested in using the service as an image service. How fast can you interact with S3?
I am really interested in the performance aspects of the service. Does anyone with info of the service ?
Thanks
John

Amazon's whitepaper release on the S3 system has stated that speed and scalability are two of their top goals.
Are you looking to see how many querries per second you are going to be able to attain? Or more specifically down to disk specification on the server side @ Amazon?
My guess, given what Amazon has said in their releases, is that the system is, or will be scalled to, be "fast enough for you".

Using the s3curl.pl script (from the example resources), I did some simple things.
(Using a 10 MB file:)
time ./s3curl.pl --id=[myid] --key=[mykey] --put /data/install/thunderbird-1.0.6.tar.gz --
http://s3.amazonaws.com/[mybucket]/thunderbird-1.0.6.tar.gz
real 0m2.312s
user 0m0.170s
sys 0m0.134s
time ./securl.pl --id=[myid] --key=[mykey] --
http://s3.amazonaws.com/[mybucket]/thunderbird-1.0.6.tar.gz -o thunderbird-1.0.6.tar.gz
real 0m3.725s
user 0m0.231s
sys 0m0.266s
Average download speed was 2858kbps (2.8Mbps). If you notice, upload speed was actually -faster-. I repeated this several times, range was from 2813kbps to 2924kbps average for the GET.
Putting a 2 MB mp3 took 0.8s, retrieving it took 1.085s -- quite fast, quite responsive.

Thanks for the info.
I am trying to figure out if I can get it use S3 to display map image tiles. We need to display several images at once. If I can refer to stored images as urls without signifciant latency then we are really interested in using S3.

Based on my above numbers this should be very possible.
