Hi again, I have it working ok for now, not using a backend at the moment (still waiting to see whether I really have the need for it). However, the countdownMillis() or etaMillis() look rather unreliable (I had tasks that waited for around 100s before being executed, while the countdown was around 10s). The queue is hardly full (at most 5-6 tasks in it, none of which requires heavy processing).
Is there a way using appengine to have a more reliable execution of delayed events? Thanks, -- Sébastien Tromp 2011/8/10 Sébastien Tromp <[email protected]> > Hi Tim, > > Thanks for your hindsight.
