I am not bashing GAE.  I offer constructive criticism of the
ill-conceived parts of GAE, of which there are several.  Short of
dragging Googlers off to Las Vegas for an all-you-can-eat hookers and
blow buffet, this is the best way I (as a customer) know how to enact
change.  If enough customers complain loudly enough for long enough,
Google will adjust their development priorities.

The only reason AWS has been brought up is because there is an
argument to be made that they suffer from the same perverse incentive
WRT performance.  To some extent this is true, but it's certainly less
direct than with GAE.  If it were more direct, more people would
probably complain.  And even if AWS works "the same way", there's
still no reason to embrace it, especially when GAE is multiple times
more expensive.  There is no reason to turn this into a general
discussion of AWS vs GAE.

The fact that my bill can vary by a factor of 6 because of
fluctuations entirely within Google infrastructure is a problem.
Period.
