From the filing: "Google delivered to its document vendor over 97 million documents for electronic processing and review. ... Google’s document vendor filtered custodial documents for production by running agreed-upon key-term searches, and converted documents to TIFF images for production. Over the course of this litigation, Oracle served nine separate Requests for Production of Documents, with 204 individual document requests. Google electronically produced over 3.3 million documents in response to Oracle’s requests, and Google’s 60 separate document productions span over 20 million pages."

I suppose you can debate the exact figures if you like, but they did spend $2,900,349 on this, and I'm betting they got a good deal.

As I stated, I'm not discussing document processing rates in my original comment. I don't contend that this is exorbitant. I also still don't believe your snippet is a sufficient basis upon which to accept there were really millions of documents in the sense of what most people would consider "documents".
