Hi Ikai, It's mostly CPU time that it's using now just generating the test data. The costs are lower than I expected though so no problem (and interesting to note in the article).
I can't find any up to date information about the datastore timeout limits. In 1.4 the background task timeout is 10 minutes, but long before that I get a datastore timeout for a select all query with a dataset of a few million rows. I know you shouldn't normally do this, but it's just to test and get some numbers. Any idea about this?
