If you are loading extra libraries that can slow your load time. Also look at storing variables and other start up information in memcache rather than datastore. I knocked a lot of time off of my startup by trimming the fat and putting all of my start up variables in a single entity rather than having to grab several entities at startup.

It takes 3-4 secs normally to start the full app up, but through smart caching (I can start a cold instance and serve many pages directly from memcache without starting the full stack in less than <200ms.) I suggest you spend some time having a look at your app startup performance, and profiling your app, rather than spending your time posting the multitude of odd complaints all over the place.
