I set my real app to min idle = 1, max latency is 1sec yesterday.  Here's the 
result:



The scheduler REALLY doesn't want to run only 1 instance.  As you can see, it 
really wants to run 2.  And I really don't want the users to have a totally 
sucky user experience, either.  I'd like them to get enough instances to serve 
them well for the few minutes a day they are using the system.

If I can, then I clearly don't understand what a backend is.

Can you elaborate on this idea?
