What is difficult to understand? 1 server has X resources warmed instanced require Y resources X - YN = resources left over for the server to fulfill requests. By reducing N (the number of warmed instances), you can increase the capacity to fulfill actual requests. By allowing us to pay for our own N, Google can presumably increase the capacity of each server or can increase the number of servers. I can see how it can cost Google to have unused apps loaded and ready to immediately serve. Can't you. I don't see what the difficulty understanding is.
