I think what gholler means is that when a SECOND instance is being started up because of too much traffic, "in order to serve you better", what actually happens is that the client sees the startup time.
Therefore keeping the first instance "warm" would serve no purpose. The way I see gholler´s proposal, whenever GAE decides to load a second instance, it should do so in the background, using the first instance to resolve requests until the second instance is ready. This way clients would not wait 15 seconds for the instance to load. Does it make sense?
