Hi, The calculation for datastore writes for new entities is: 2 Writes + 2 Writes per indexed property value + 1 Write per composite index value (see http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html#Billable_Resource_Unit_Cost for more information).
If you have 14 simple properties, then storing each entity will currently consume 30 datastore writes, since per-property indexes are on by default. If you turn off all of the per-property indexes each entity will take 2 datastore writes, so you will still have to batch your upload over a few days (you'll be able to upload ~25,000 entities per day, with no other traffic to your app). I'm a little confused though, as you say that you're only able to upload ~200 a day at the moment - are all of those properties simple, or do you have some list properties? What framework are you using for persisting your data? Each persistence framework has a different way of turning off the per-property indexes. It should be noted that if you remove a per-property index, you can no longer query on that property.
