Couchbase on the cheap on AWS

I'm trying to find a way to run Couchbase Server cheaply on AWS but the problem I'm having is that Couchbase is memory intensive and memory on AWS runs a bit of a premium. What I'd like to be able to do is run an Medium EC2 instance (price point wise this feels ok) for my development environment. There are very few documents currently and write speed is VERY low. Yet it appears even with this configuration I'm getting timeouts and errors.

Has anyone cracked this nut?

We use AWS as our staging/development environment, we found that the small instances were just too underpowered for any useful work. We use 2 m1.medium instances, both with couchbase running on and one with nginx and a java application server. It works fine for us allowing 4-5 client machines to work with the environment with no problems or timeouts.

For on your box development I'd recommend spinning up some vm's and having a local cluster for testing.
