How fast is Google Cloud SQL?

Google says that after today's update, Cloud SQL will feature throughput rates that are up to seven times faster than the earlier version, and the service will be able to scale to up to 10TB of data, 15,000 IOPS, and 104GB of RAM per instance — numbers the first version couldn't reach.


I have been looking at the console’s billing as far as Cloud SQL and the VM Instance is concerned. I see that a lot of the cost comes from the idling hours of the Cloud SQL IP address. I am unsure as to where the settings are for this as i have tried to “unassign” the ip address that is associated with my Cloud SQL Instance. Are these charges static, as in am I always, no matter what, going to be charged for the ip address constantly or is there a way to turn this off when I am not using the Cloud SQL Instance? If so, how can I?
