Something is broken in GAE.

No code changes. Our production app startup time is now >60s and
experiencing downtime periods. Switching from F1 to F4 has no effect,
it still takes ~60s to start.

This code takes 10s to start with an F4 in our sandbox environment.
It does no eager loading.

We've filed a production issue. Appid is voost0.

We are seeing the same thing. We are also getting Deadline Exceeded errors on just import libaries.

This problem is still ongoing. F4 instances can't get off the ground.

One instance startup attempt from a cron task (longer deadline) took
265 seconds before "The process handling this request unexpectedly
died."
