title: gcloud preview app deploy process takes ~8 minutes, is this normal?
body: <p>Trying out new flexible app engine runtime. In this case a custom Ruby on Rails runtime based on the google provided ruby runtime.</p>
  
  <p>When firing of <code>gcloud preview app deploy</code> the whole process takes ~8 minutes, most of which is "updating service". Is this normal? And more importantly, how can I speed it up?</p>
  
  <p>Regards,</p>
