Thanks for the advice Robert! i need to verify my instance startup time so that i can pick a good pending latency. i have been playing with idle instances on non-production apps and have found that settings similar to your experiences are helpful. i'm going to start rolling those out.
i didn't notice if latency had gone high during that period. it seems to have subsided since then so i must have hit a high-load period. it would be nifty if there was a way to detect that and give the user a better page then the GAE 500 error page. thanks again, cfh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
