While I'm a big fan of async systems like Node and Tornado, this is really an apples/oranges comparison. The programming models are quite different and each strengths and weaknesses. The domain of problems appropriate to solve with Prevayler and the domain of problems appropriate to solve with GAE's datastore have very little overlap. If a Tornado/Prevaylor works for you, by all means use it. But recognize that it's a niche.
