Been battling this slow AppEngine local Web server much of today. Finally found a solution: don't connect to:
but rather, connect to:
This results in a savings of 1 second per request.
What the heck is (was) going on, I'm not really sure! I was surprised to see the second line in my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhostI think this is for IPV6 - but my first thought was that it's supposed "add 1 second delay"!

An interesting technical note on Google App Engine. It is possible to get results back from a query that DO NOT match the predicate of the query.
This is because the data is committed first, and the indexes are committed later. So, there is a small window of time where results can be included in a query that don't actually satisfy the conditions.
The converse is also true. If you change data, and then perform a query expecting to retrieve the data you just modified, it may not be returned even though the change was committed.
These kind of race conditions could make some applications tricky to perform correctly.

Script browser simulations for web testing. IE specific - but a Firefox port underway.

A quick "mashup" using the Google Mashup Editor. Has this really been in beta for a year? I just took note, and got into the (closed?) beta.
I'm note sure I get the point. You pretty much have to be a developer to write these things, but I don't think you get much more functionality than just writing to their JavaScript API's.
What's the market for these things (or maybe that's why it's not gone public). Competes with Yahoo Pipes and Microsoft Popfly.
