Thanks for clarification. I think one idle instance is not enough. I often (about 15% possibility) load my app page very slowly. I think the possible reason is when a visit coming at the same time the cron jobs is running, a new instance must be started for the visit request. As the cron jobs need some seconds to finish.
So I think it will make a better user experience if gea can provide an option to let the crons jobs always run in a new separated instance. The new separated instance will not handle normal visit requests. On Sep 28, 4:49 am, "Gregory D'alesandre" <[email protected]> wrote: > Agreed.
