I'm seeing the same thing with the test app I created. Even though I had max 
instances set to 1 the scheduler still started up a second instance. During 
this time I had several request that resulted in 500 server errors. Once the 
second instance was started latency increased - as if the scheduler couldn't 
decide which instance to route the request to. After a few seconds it 
subsisted. I believe that this transition period maybe responsible for error 
rates. The bad thing about it is:

1) The errors didn't appear in the logs.  So it is quite likely that this is a 
common problem, but few developers are aware of it.
2) There's nothing that can be done to fix it.

In fairness I was testing under the free quota, so maybe the scheduler behaves 
better on payed apps.
