[google-appengine] Re: Does cron jobs take more time to init than normal handlers
I'm pretty sure the cron service simply calls a url and reports whether it got status code 200 or not. Other than that, there shouldn't be much difference. You should try profiling two requests, one from cron and one from a browser, and comparing them to see what the real difference is.

It could be that the cron jobs are run on a different farm of computers. If you call cron every 5 min it means the server has to start cold for every cron request. If you use the regular URL from a browser or such you likely have a warm server running. 2009/6/24 Mariano Benitez : > > Hello, > > Now that I got cron, I moved something I used to do in a normal > handler to use a cache and refresh every 5 minutes. > > What I discovered now is that what used to take 400ms in the normal > handler is now taking 800+ms in the cron handler.

yes, I believe it might be more related to initializing the handlers than another server... my cron url is handled in another py file. I am not looking for an accurate diagnostics, just some hints that I can avoid or consider.
