Yeah, I said warm-up not startup, but same thing. I like lower numbers too, but if your max latency is at 1/3 your average you will pretty much be guaranteed to have an instance per simultaneous request. My average request is 300ish MS so I can pull off 500-600ms, but someone with 2.5s average would spin up a lot of extra instances everytime a user hit a page making 8 requests. And you'd eat the start up time on all those instances, so too low of a Max can make things worse. Again check the archive I talked about this too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
