Thanks everyone for the constructive discussion! First of all, before it becomes a sort of "frame"(please understand I'm not saying you're inciting people), please keep in mind that we want every runtime to be a first citizen of App Engine.
Secondly, we have introduced significant improvement to the Java Runtime in the past few years, so it should much much faster than it was 3 years ago. Jeff, FYI, I've just started an internal discussion about this issue, and we're taking this issue very seriously. I also promise that I'll continue pushing the core engineering team hard with this issue.
