I don't see why you think testing the scalability of a single PC is
useful. It will hit some limit or another and then start dropping
requests. That means any solution limited to using just one PC has
*no* scalability.
If you're really asking if it would be better to host your application
on a PC in your basement or on Google App Engine, then it depends on
what your application does. If your application needs to scale to
handle an unbounded number of requests then GAE is likely to be the
better choice. If your application is compute heavy or needs to
perform a complex series of queries and updates then GAE may not be
able to handle a single request.
