Instance hours are billed for the instances being up for an app.  This is
one of the reasons that we are changing our scheduler, to ensure we aren't
creating instances that aren't needed and that we are taking down instances
once they are no longer needed.  Does that help clarify?

I am putting an FAQ together (so that everyone doesn't have to hunt through
this thread for answers) and I'll include this.
