High-traffic apps rarely start that way. If apps are stillborn because performance sucks during the early-adopter and growth stage, then GAE is really only useful for Google and we're pretty much all wasting our time. Also: I have yet to see any hard evidence that high-traffic apps do not suffer the same cold start problem as low-traffic apps. It could easily be that the number of cold start requests are simply lost in the volume of successful requests. After all, users don't report hung http requests; they just reload the page and assume it was their ISP's fault. Gafal: Sorry to see you go, but I totally understand. This issue is deeply frustrating for me too. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
