I'm confused by these changes too. Although I'm happy to have choice (pay more for more speed sounds awesome) this leaves an odd aftertaste After all the communication issues around the recent pricing changes, shouldn't it be quite obvious that people will ask you about the details anyway? Wouldn't it help to spend a couple minutes upfront, explaining this change/new feature better? Surely you have spent many hours working on the implementation, why not share some additional insight?
"By default, all applications use the basic frontend instance setting of 128MB memory and 600MHz CPU." So, if F1 is what we've been using the past months, why don't you just say so. And if it happened to be F2, then people will find out eventually, and you should say to too. I can see a mysterious drop in performance of my application since the 22nd of November. I have not analysed it yet (it only occurred to me now, since I was busy), but it would help a lot if you'd take the guesswork out of these announcements -- because otherwise I am somewhat tempted to believe that we've been on something similar to F2 and will now have to pay more to achieve the same old performance. Please tell me it's not like this, and I'll shut up instantly :) Cheers, Per On Dec 14, 12:03 pm, Scott Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I am confused. Did the default used to be F2?
