I am indeed using the Java development environment as my primary
development language and have already set the expirey header to the
maximum allowed.

Out of interest I tested the edge caching performance using python by
configuring the static files in the app.yaml. The performance is the
same.

The disappointing lack of response suggests that this situation is
here to stay so ill be switching to EC2 cloudfront for the static
content.
