I still can't get the 

"""viable option for my own processing purposes, not multiple users"""

if they're viable for you, they're viable for multiple users. To a limit.

BTW: you can't run external processes on GAE, there's only the TaskQueue 
(with some limitations)

As for the number of concurrent scheduler processes, of course they're 
limited by the hardware you'll run them onto.
If you're looking to more than 50 concurrent processes, I'd say you have to 
leave web2py's scheduler and resort to state-of-the-art async processing 
(e.g., Celery)
