I asked same question on Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com/ questions/2051036/google-app-engine-application-instance-recycling-and- response-times).
So far proposed solutions (in SO thread and found on other websites) do not satisfy me. Creating cron or any other kind of periodic HTTP requests to keep instance up and running make no sense. First - there is no evidence that this instance will serve next coming request (eg. from different network location etc.), second - it will consume Quota (which is less a problem). Other solution - refactoring app - replacing critical functionality with lightweight servlet - sounds better, but is GAE forcing to go back to CGI programming style? And I could replace let say - API calls, but to keep UI in better performance shape I would need to throw away Spring MVC. Can anyone confirm that this behavior will not be fixed (yes fixed - as I think it is a blocker for any serious GAE usage)? Or can anyone suggest different solution? Thanks Konrad
