What is an "Instant Web Computation" as shown on the Wolfram Cloud Usage Dashboard? How do you create one with Mathematica 10?

Hi Sascha! An Instant Web Computation is a Delayed expression that has been CloudDeployed: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Delayed.html.

It is essentially an APIFunction with no parameters, although it does have a convenience superpower in the UpdateInterval option which sends a HTTP refresh header which instructs browsers to periodically refresh the output.
