I don't know anyone, but reading about it does raise some questions.

For page speed to work you need to point your DNS record at ghs.google.com.

Now for appengine and custom domains you also need to point your DNS record for your site at 
ghs.google.com.  It will be interesting to see if you can do both at the same time ;-)

I ran a Page Speed Test against one of my sites hosted on appengine and the difference was
down in the 1% territory, and actually slightly slower on the repeated viewing test.

It is losing against every site we “host” on CDN in a box, with an exception of a page that had a bunch of Google Plus links on it, somehow that was faster with them… (I think they cheated)   But www.xyhd.tv was half a second slower using the page speed test at the time we tested.

 

That seems to work, I mean XYHD.tv is hosted on AppEngine, and it works with the test tool.  So I think you can be on AppSpot and run PageSpeed. (but you’d be better to run CDN In a Box :-) )

I think running the pagespeed test is quite different from running a custom domain.

In fact in the google page speed service FAQ it states

My website is hosted on Blogger, Google Sites or Google App Engine. Can I still use Page Speed Service?
Websites or domains hosted on Blogger, Google Sites or Google App Engine are currently not supported by Page Speed Service. Neither the serving domain, nor the reference domain can be hosted on one of these products. Such sites will already be CNAME'd to ghs.google.com.

Which is pretty much what I said.
