@bobmcwhirter - does ON_DEMAND truly mean when it is requested? The prior async bits spun up the runtime (really just the web runtime) in the background so the app can finish deploying (and start queueing requests instead of giving 404s) while the runtime spins up. If there are requests immediately after deployment, those first requests have to wait for the runtime. If no requests come in until after the runtime is spun, then no requests wait. If ON_DEMAND means that the runtime will spin up on the first request, no matter when that occurs, then the first request will *always* have to wait, right?
