The scheduler isn't all things to all people, or all instances. That's why I have been trying to tell people to clamp it, and how to tune it (and complaining about how it is tuned).
The Full Auto mode on instances can work if you tune the latency. Full auto on latency is almost always a bad idea. We ran quite a few test passes to see what QoS users would get at different settings on our app, and I would advise you to do the same thing. Testing in a Vacuum really lets you get a sense of how many you need of what. Crawling through the apps that appear in Google Search results (yes I crawl results I have a bot) I found that VERY few of them set cache headers. People keep telling me why those don't matter, but I'm telling you, even the least cachable apps on the planet have HTTP requests re-polled by ISPs, the Alexa Bot, and other things, so if you aren't using HTTPS you should enable Cache Headers to save a minimum of 10%.

I probably paid 1k-2k extra for this mistake Don't even want to think what I could do with that money ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
