Amazon S3 pricing

Amazon has recently changed its pricing, if you use their S3 Storage Service. The new thing is that they now price per number of requests (read or write). This does not hit a smallplayer that uses S3 to backup his PC, but for thebig players (if you run web portals with S3 in thebackground) this can become a reason to optimize your number of transactions. I find it is a not too hard, but nice thing to keep theservice up and running with reliable performance and keeping the bad boys out.
