"The photos themselves go straight to Amazon S3"... Is there no image resizing involved? It's pretty hard to find stuff about scaling image resizing, It's hugely CPU intensive, that's a sure thing.
Actually they have to do the compression on the mobile clients before uploading, otherwise it will take forever and cost a real fortunate on the mobile data usage.

I'd imagine it's easy enough to do before transmission.
