This headline should say "GETs to the datastore are now much faster".

EDIT: I neglected to see the other datastore figures.

You should also check out the latency for Put, Update, Delete and Query on that same page.

Ah, you're right.

Put, Update and Delete are much faster too.

looks like they took a 1hr write outage at deployment time, so presumably a fairly beefy change under the hood.

Most of the datastore maintenance windows are about an hour long. Previous ones have even gone two hours.
