I've been trying to keep my Frontend Instances under control for a very-low 
traffic application that should remain under all other quotas. I have 
enabled multi-thread, set Minimum Pending Latency to 15s, and Max Idle 
Instances to 1, and hope to use only 1 Frontend Instance to stay under the 
daily quota for Frontend Instance Hours (because anytime a 2nd instance 
spawns, it is almost guaranteed that I will exceed the daily quota), but it 
seems impossible with the Scheduler deciding to spawn extra Frontend 
Instances for no reason other than to bill us higher.

What I've noticed happening is XMPP Presence Available requests always 
coming in pairs. Not sure if this is the correct behavior from XMPP clients 
or if this is a bug in the GAE XMPP engine double-sending XMPP Presence 
requests. This is fine if there is an Instance ready to handle them, but 
when I don't have an Instance up, the scheduler will spawn TWO (or even more 
if some other requests come in at the same time) instances to handle both 
requests simultaneously.

I'm guessing my daily Frontend Instance quotas will run out maybe 2-3 hours 
before the end of each quota-day because of all the unneeded 2nd Instances, 
and I'll have to pay $9/month to make it available 24 hours per day.
