Kaan, I believe the ping time to appspot.com domains is not indicative of the actual smallest response time as it only pings the entry point of Google's global edge network. Once your request is inside Google internal network, it will then travel to your GAE instances and back. If you ping an app from London, you only get 10s of ms, yet if you perform a full simple HTTP request it will add the 100ms of cross atlantic RTT at the very least.
