i am trying to run a process that analyzes many rows of data - i'm querying 
50 rows (using cursors), doing work, then writing data to a blobstore file. 
 i can't get it to run for more than a few minutes on the backend before it 
is shutdown - as far as i know i am not hitting any memory limits, and we 
have a crap-ton of budget available.

i'd prefer to share my appid privately....let me know if you would like it.
