and with "Max Idle Instances" set as 3. There MUST be a bug in gae instance scheduler. If it is not a bug, it MUST be a bad implementation.
After some researches, I find If there is only one instance is running, the scheduler always avoids using it to handle a new coming request, even if the idle instance is idling. Instead, the scheduler always tries to open a new instance to handle the new coming request. As a result, the visitor must wait 15s to load the page. This problem is intolerable specially for websites with very small traffic. Almost very visit will wait for 15 seconds. How a good scheduler should do? 1. always use the current idle instance if it is available. 2. at the same time, create a new instance for potential new concurrent requests. It is just that simple. -- 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-appengine@googlegroups.com.
