Could you clarify how much the Python 2.7 multithreading feature would help I/O bound apps keep their instances down? My reasoning is that the instance/hours will roughly equal current CPU hours (rather than be the 4x, 10x and 100x we're seeing here), but do you have any actual data?

That would be extremely useful to understand the new pricing scheme better.

"for Python we will not be supporting concurrent requests until Python 2.7 is live"

Could I be guessing right in that this means no concurrancy at all within a given instance - so an instance chewing CPU time an instance blocked waiting for IO to complete are no different in this model.
