On one of our applications (steprep), we see periods of extreme
burstiness in errors.

For example, from 8.32a to 8.35a (Sept 10, log time), we saw:

 - 20 transaction could not be committed errors
 - 14 datastore timeouts, or unavailable
 - 47 deadline exceeded errors

This code, which is largely background tasks and not really impacted
by end-user access, runs well at other times during the day. We also
have a demo server with similar code and data characteristics (steprep-
demo) that does not see these issues, though it does do only about a
third to a half of the background work that our primary does.

I fully understand that a system like App Engine has transient issues
and that it's important for us as developers to architect our software
around this. I fully understand that resources like UrlFetch rely on
non-Google services and may be the root of (seemingly random)
DeadlineExceededErrors.

However, I've seen this behaviour before, and I believe it was
attributed to localized load (i.e., the particular set of applications
that were on the same physical hardware).

Is it possible that this is happening again? We've only seen this
level of errors for perhaps the last 7-10 days.
