This conversation was constructive and mostly positive until you
chimed in.  It was a reasonable discussion of real problems that many
people are having with scheduler behavior, including concrete
suggestions for how to improve it.

For the record, I have never, ever said that GAE sucks.  Your advice,
on the other hand...

You have this wrong.  It's true that the JDO/JPA module gets a bad
rap, but every optimization guide I've read recommends abandoning it
in favor of lighter-weight layers like Objectify or Twig.  It's true
that these tools will give you a better startup time because they
don't do classpath scanning.  But it turns out that avoiding classpath
scanning only gets you so far - the up-front cost of classloading and
inspecting persistence classes becomes significant when you reach a
critical mass of entity classes.

As for writing complex business applications using strictly the
low-level API... good luck.  I can only explain your attitude about
this as naïveté.  And your absurd proposal that all 326 of my url
endpoints should be separate applications...  Just.  Wow.
