Yes, URLFetch is still surprisingly slow, and it has resulted in much higher costs for my app!
Looking at the status page, you can see that URL Fetch Latency is much higher than a 'typical' day. Today URLFetch latency is touching 1 second: https://code.google.com/status/appengine/detail/urlfetch/2013/08/01#ae-trust-detail-urlfetch-external-aws-s3-latency Picking a random day in the past, latency was around 80ms: https://code.google.com/status/appengine/detail/urlfetch/2013/07/13#ae-trust-detail-urlfetch-external-aws-s3-latency *Question: Is this 'the new normal' -- will URLFetch continue to perform like this, or will it return to its previous performance (typical 80ms latency or better on the status page)?* Because the latency is so high, my app is spinning up more instances, and costs are going up significantly. Any help mitigating the cost is appreciated. I've already turned off the Automatic settings and I've set min pending latency and max pending latency to 1.5 seconds and 15 seconds, respectively.
