Thoughts on Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)

I've moved some of our queues from a MySQL table to Amazon's Simple Queue Service (SQS). The main reason I did this is that we are processing more than a million tasks a day using at least 4 servers and that amount of processing in a database situation was a bit more than I could handle. I haven't been able to move all of our queues over, in part due to the 8k message limit, but it's been great for the queues moved over thus far.
