The above is the time it takes to deploy the application, not the time it takes to service a request (or a whole bunch of requests over a period of time). Maybe I don't understand your question? - -chris Sorry - I went off topic a bit. Yes the original question was regarding request processing time. The latter question is regarding start up time, which you mentioned as one being the startup time and the other the deployment time. Thanks for the help.
