On GAE it's not just the startup.. Well it is, but for more reasons. You have less memory too. So someone's really optimized framework might be AMAZING for CPU optimizations, but the cost of adding it from a memory standpoint causes you to hit the soft limit instance death more often. Which causes you to cold start A LOT more because the scheduler didn't spin the instance, the instance ceased to exist.
And frankly, this discussion hinges entirely on instance cold start issues. If you have enough money to keep spare idle instances sitting around, or your traffic is steady and constant (as opposed to spiky and unpredictable) you really won't hit this problem very much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
