yes quickly scaling is what it does best, as far as I know. Though if
you commit to 24x7 than you can get better price for that machine. So
the setup I am aiming is 1 commited machine on ec2, and other go up
and down as needed. For one blog it is overkill, but for bigger app
might be a good thing if you need to scale (and many web aps need
that)

small instance of ec2 gives you 1.5 megs of ram (so 5 times as much) ,
and ram can be critical resource for seaside apps.

but this is all just theory, I have yet to see it how it performs in
real battle :)
