Instance Startups Are Faster Today

[Bryce Cutt]

One of my Python apps that usually had between 6 to 8 second long warmup requests now seems to have 1.5 second warmup request today.

I wondered if perhaps the app was just moved to a less noisy cluster so I tested 4 other Python apps I have and confirmed that all of them now take around 1 to 1.5 seconds to do a warmup request where they used to average around 5 seconds.

Is anyone else noticing this with Python apps? All the apps I tested are on the Python 2.5 runtime and the HR datastore.

How about Java apps? I don't have any to test with.

Crossing my fingers hoping that things stay this fast (or faster).
