Although latency affects everybody I get the sense that there are many who are hit by the frequent cold starts to a much greater degree of severity. So much so that it is a show-stopper for them on GAE. Perhaps the problem could be solved early in the development process by strongly recommending against using frameworks such as Spring

I hope that JVM level improvements such as those hinted at by JSR 121 and the IBM Cloneable JVM will allow images of a fully initialized app to be cloned to other nodes without the need to re-initialise. Developers and the tools they currently use expect apps to initialise infrequently.

That reinforces my opinion that the GAE team should spend less time
focusing on cold starts and worry more about datastore latency, which
affects *every* request.

(oh, and adding spatial indexes ;-)
