Hi guys,

I have a cron op that is fetching some records for an entity and does
some processing on them.

While checking my app logs I have noticed that for the trivial case
when no result is returned (and so there is no additional processing
done) this operation is billed constantly with something between
1300ms and 1400ms.

This basically tells me that this is the initial cost of a roundtrip
to the datastore (plus basic request dispatching; note: the response
doesn't have any data).

Based on this I can further deduce that on a daily basis the free CPU
quota will allow me to run around 18k datastore roundtrips with 0
results.

How do you comment on this data when compared with the public
announcements you've done in the past about the amount of requests an
app can serve based only on free quota?

PS: I have argued (and I continue to believe) that billing for CPU
time is completely incorrect to app engine customers and that Google
should look into some alternative options:
