There's essentially no overhead for back references if you don't use
them.  There is a tiny overhead when you define A and the
ReferenceProperty adds the back reference property to the refered to
model.  If you're using app caching then this only happens when your
application is first loaded in a server instance.  There's no cost on
subsequent requests.  The back references aren't real properties so
they don't take any space in the datastore.
