The specs on the 8 cent per hour backend instance is 128mb/600mhz of memory and ... and im not sure what the 4 cent (half price) frontend specs are.

If we are paying for them, we should know exactly what we are getting. Thanks

Also noted on the billing comparison:

"Frontend Instance Hour costs reflect a 50% price reduction active
until November 20th, 2011."

Google, where can we get the frontend instance specs?

Frontend specs are the same as a B1 backend as defined here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/backends.html#Instance_Classes

This is 128M memory limit and 600MHz CPU limit

Now frontend have 2.4GHz CPU - I can use 2CPU second per clock second in cpu-usage task. 

Will frontend slower than now after new billing enable?

All frontends already only have 600MHz allocated and there is no plan to change this.  So, no, frontends won't be slower after the new billing is enabled.

Will the memory be decreased? Because my app is using JRuby, which is very memory intensive and I sit around 200MB memory utilisation per app.

The memory allocation will be set to 128M, but our analysis is that should impact very few apps.  What is your appid?  I'll see if it is on the list that we were going to use to contact apps that would be affected.
