Wasn't it because that you set Max Idle Instances at that time?

Generally speaking, you can not get everything. If you want a better performance, you'll need to pay more, and vice versa. However, if you're really certain that the behavior of our scheduler has significantly changed, please let me know your app-id and detailed explanation(it can be off-list), so I can look into it further. > > That aside 1.6.5 is great of course! :) Thanks! -- Takashi > > Cheers, > Per > > -- > 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. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > google-appengine+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en. > -- Takashi Matsuo | Developer Advocate | tmat...@google.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
