Time taken to send a message in Amazon's SQS

Question

How long does it take to send a message with Amazon Simple Queue Service?

Also, I'd like to know how many messages will be sent in a minute in Amazon SQS?

Answer 1

As of 2007, at least one user got these results:

1        1             1.389207 sec/msg
100      1             1.3945675675675675 sec/msg

10       10            0.645827935222672 sec/msg

Looks like 1.5 seconds per read is safe for planning, or 40 reads per minute.
