That's the thing about exponential backoffs: it grows so quickly. It goes from 1-2-4-8-16-32 seconds. That's only 6 HTTP requests, and if you set it to 8 seconds, it'd be only 3 HTTP requests worth of savings.

That being said, you'll probably want to file a feature request here: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list.
