What I want to know is what do you think celery buys you that the built-in scheduler does not provide?
Celery is faster at transferring messages from the application t the workers and vice versa but normally when you want to run background tasks you have different bottle-necks: computation cycles of background tasks and database access from the tasks. In this respect I do not see celery being any better than the built-in scheduler. Actually the built-in scheduler makes your life easier by exposing the web2py environment to workers which is something celery would not be able to do.
