This issue has been raised before (I believe this is what you are seeing). Many moons ago vlad was its champion in these groups. His conclusion (link below): "I have been screaming about this for a looong time. The offcial position of GAE team is - we don't guarantee on time execution. Even though this issue is not about on time execution but rather about bugs/inefficiency of their scheduler."
Sadly I think this is never going away, so best to build your client with the anticipation of such delays -- TQ tasks as part of handling client calls are too powerful/necessary to avoid entirely.
