Hi,

There is no phone support for AppEngine ATM, as I mentioned before we
will offer SLA and Paid support as part of the new pricing model later
this year.

Please followup on the Production ticket you opened:
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5415

If you could provide a test url for the CPU spikes you reproduce
there, that would help use to put a better diagnostic on the issue.

Thanks in advance.
