Many people seem to be complaining about the shift from CPU-hour to instance-hour pricing. They don't seem to get that it's more or less the same thing: dynamic instances can handle "a small number" of concurrent requests. So the GAE team has set the incentives correctly, to reward apps that work well with concurrency. The current free quota is 6.5 CPU hours, and the upcoming free quota seems to be 24 instance hours. I know which I prefer.
