Its not really 'over the web'. In general Google Storage is pretty 'close' to AppEngine, probably within the same data-center. > Surely it must be quicker to store the necessary data locally to the app? > Well AppEngine is itself a distributed system. The 'code' is stored on some sort of storage subsystem. When an instance is started for your application, the code has to be copied from that system to the local instance. In general its copied as needed (rather than transferring the up to 1Gb on instance startup) Copying over the network from that repository, vs copying from dedicated Google Storage, is probably not significantly different. Been a while since I benchmarked it tho. ... anyway was only a suggestion how to get round your "problem". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
