GAE Instances - should they last longer?

[GAE_fan]

I'm seeing that the GAE instances of my application only last a few minutes or a few thousands requests, consuming each around 40MBytes.

1. Is this normal? 
2. Am I paying a performance penalty because of these relaunches?  (or maybe more $ once the new pricing takes place?)
3. Anyone else seeing this?

No, you will not be paying a price penalty. The only performance penalty may be that every once in a while, a user sees a loading request.

This is fairly normal. Instance are meant to be short lived.
