When you are working on small apps, it's plenty fast enough to do iterative 
testing. In particular, you can tweak html and css (or even main.py) without 
restarting anything.

I've never complained that its slow. It's much faster than doing a deploy to do 
tests.

On my apps with big data stores where I need to test on the real server, I 
often just start it up and hit the hello world page to make sure I don't have a 
syntax error in my main.py
