I (and many others I think) have been frustrated with how instance hours 
billing can explode in the face of traffic spikes.  I've submitted Issue 
5858 <http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5858> to 
help us put a hard limit on that scaling out.  Regardless, it is quite clear 
that the only real hope is to implement multi-threaded request handling. 
 Java has that option and the new Pytohn 2.7 runtime is supposed to bring 
that.  Seeing how important concurrent handling is going to be to keeping 
bills reasonable, it's a real shame that the Python's  New-GIL improved 
concurrency<http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/whatsnew/3.2.html#multi-threading> 
was 
rejected for Python 2.7 in part to keep encouraging adoption of 3.X.
