I get bursty periods of very high request latency, with increasing
frequency over the last few weeks, which last from seconds to hours.
Usually the elevated latencies are in the 3-6s range but sometimes it
goes up into the 20-30s range. For example, here are some logs from a
few minutes ago:

Pingdom is pinging from all over the globe and sees the problem so it
is definitely on the App Engine side.

Drilling down into my logs: Even when the requests are taking 6s+ to
return, from my first logging statement at the very top of my python
file to the last logging statement at the end of my request handler is
only 500ms of real time. So, I don't know where exactly the issue is,
but it doesn't seem to be inside my code.

These requests all have < 200ms of latency most of the time (although
the bad behavior has gotten increasingly frequent lately).

I thought this might be related to the problems the Django folks are
having with DeadlineExceeded errors... See
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1695 and
many other discussion threads linked therein.
