The broken number in that thread is 0.01 CPU hours per user per day. You do realize that is 36 seconds of computation time per User, right? If we were to be aggressive and assume 3.6 seconds instead, it brings those off the cuff costs of 100,000 users (who are obviously very heavily engaged, as they are returning every day and consuming 3.6s of CPU time) to $300. Not bad. But the real numbers are probably lower.
