My main complaint with s3cmd is you can't easily throttle it, and on a busy machine its fast speeds can cause issues.

Have you tried trickle[1]? It can limit the bandwidth of most programs I've tried it on.
trickle -u 10 -d 20 ncftp
This runs ncftp capped at 10 KB/s up, 20 KB/s down.

Good point. I guess in the past I have spun up a micro instance to run it, so I didn't have to run my S3 operations using one of my main production servers, and hence I didn't run into any problems with its unthrottled speed.

Perhaps lowering its priority would help.
