Greetings,

I have a high traffic rails 3.0.3 app. that uses paperclip 2.4.1 to store images in S3

During performance analysis for my rails pages. I noticed that paperclip is causing the app to make http calls to S3. just to check the permissions of the buckets. this is a huge performance issue.. and the check is somehow unnecessary. (if it is unauthorized for the end user. S3 will prevent him from accessing the file anyway).

Is there a direct way to skip this check?
