Running a query asynchronously doesn't make it run faster. It just means 
that you can do other things in the same request while that query is 
running. So its really more of question of what other things you need to do 
in a request.

If you really need the features that django non-rel is missing, you could 
either add them yourself (not the easiest thing to do, but not impossible), 
or you could skip the django ORM and use the app engine APIs directly. 
Kinda like writing assembly in a C-based app, you would miss out on some of 
the fancy django stuff, but sometimes its worth the trade-off.

Also, don't forget about all that premature optimization advice.
