How Tarsnap uses Amazon Web Services

How exactly do you batch writes? Do you save 2 blobs in 1 file? Or some kind of keep-alive that Amazon counts as a single request?

I aggregate blobs together (up to 4 MB at once) and store them to S3 as a single S3 object. The tarsnap server keeps track of which part of the object corresponds to which blob.
