It does do this. It instantiates a runtime for your application, and keeps it in memory until it hasn't been used (infrequent demand) or the server needs the memory for something else (high demand for other applications). > I have to admit, as much as the high-availability of GAE is attractive, if > hits are going to take 10s to come back, that's a pretty big negative. I was surprised at this too. GAE is highly available, but not the fastest in terms of latency. Of course, you should be customizing the application for GAE anyway. If you have a GMail-type application where most of the latency is hidden behind AJAX calls, it's less noticible to the user. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
