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 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.
