If they're static items and if you use malloc as cache storage, you
should be limited only by the instance's bandwidth. The performance is
very, very good. With one large instance here, I can serve thousands
of requests per second on dynamic items (fetched through WAN) and the
CPU use averages on 20% only. An instance here goes up to 200Mbit/s,
but it varies since network badnwidth is kind of shared on Amazon's
Hypervisors.
With local files and memory storage you should be really fine.
