Use putMetricData optimally.

[pwilczynskiclearcode]

putMetricData() method allows to pack up to 40 KB of metrics. In case of producing huge number of them packing metrics in single requests could give 10-20x costs reduction.

Good point!

Related: I do not understand the limits; it says you can have 40 KB per PutMetricData request, but there can only be 20 MetricDatum elements in such a request. This seems very few, and certainly too few to reach 40 KB?
