How to Gain Visibility and Optimize Quota Usage in Google App Engine?

How do I go about optimizing my Google App Engine app to reduce instance hours I am currently using/paying for?

I have been using app engine for a while and the cost has been creeping upwards. I now spend enough on GAE to invest time into reducing the expense. More than half of my GAE bill is due to frontend instance hours, so it's the obvious place to start. But before I can start optimizing, I have to figure out what's using the instance hours.

However, I am having difficulty trying to determine what is currently using so many of my frontend instance hours. My app serves many ajax requests, dynamic HTML pages, cron jobs, and deferred tasks. For all I know there could be some runaway process that is causing my instance usage to be so high.

What methods or techniques are available to allow me to gain visibility into my app to see where I am using instance hours?
