I'm no expert on cloud computing, but I find it strange that it should take several seconds to instantiate an application. Is the Java version of GAE faster than the Python version when it comes to cold start? In Java you basically just need to have the classloader load the bytecode files for the application. Doesn't Python work in a similar way?
To load an application over the network into the memory of a server cannot take much time, unless the application is monstrously huge. So there must be some other kind of bottleneck involved. Maybe to hook up an application to the datastore, memcache etc is what takes a lot of time during a cold start? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
