Yes, but even say an index page with only 'static' html is affected by slow responses from servers. Take ordinary Google Search for example which has awesome load time performance. That performance is an important part of the quality of Google Search. We probably can't expect that kind of performance when using GAE, but I would like to see some improvements in performance regarding server response time.
