GAE/Datastore Development Mode Consistency?

[chris mahood]

My GWT/J application works flawlessly on GAE, writes are strongly consistent, but when running in development mode, writes are only eventually consistent.

Could this be because of my modest development hardware? (It is attempting to provide strong consistency, but two cores is not enough to run the Datastore and web server..) Or is there a setting that would enable me to get "immediate" writes?
