As a matter of fact this is why new EC2 instances don't get swap -- running into swap can cost a pretty penny.

What do you mean by this?

You can swap to local (ephemeral storage) at no charge. Or you can created a provisioned IOPS EBS volume and swap all you'd like. There's no separate I/O charge for these volumes.

Hi Jeff!

I assume this is a reference to the charge per 1M I/O requests on EBS.

You can, but it doesn't come on by default.
