Thanks for your input Mark. The applications which suffer most from this problem are those with very low-traffic, heavy initialization, and heavy dependencies. But we care deeply about the performance of all applications on GAE. This is why we're working very hard on performance improvements to the runtime which will make all applications load and run faster. There are two pieces of good news for you: 1) There are more performance improvements in the pipeline, like precompilation. We've seen this provide a 30% improvement to startup for many applications. See the release notes<http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/source/browse/trunk/java/RELEASE_NOTES>for more details. 2) The majority of execution time spent in startup is in application code, giving you the capability to control it. > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google App Engine" group. > To post to this group, send email to google-appeng...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > google-appengine+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<google-appengine%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
