Before or after a 60 day free trial?

Before the free trial has ended. They want to attract potential business partners (pay full price, won't use full resources) as apposed to us purely vampire users who use a lot of resources with no intentions of ever becoming a customer, just suck the resources.

totow is more pessimistic than I am. I don't think I will get kicked, but I'll let you know if I do. Google has more CPUs to burn than Amazon.

I had a similar problem at a computer center. Not using all CPU cores did the trick.
