Why Bounding Box Search executes too long?

Question

I'm using GeoModel to do Bounding Box Search. There are about 350 events in datastore but it executes >5 sec. The same results on my development environment and on google app engine. Why so long ? Do I need to add some Indexes ?

results = Event.bounding_box_fetch(
    Event.all(),
    geotypes.Box(north_east_lat, north_east_lng, south_west_lat, south_west_lng),
    max_results=100)

On this example it works much better.
I'm using Python 2.7 and google app engine

Answer 1

The GeoModel is sort of "old stuff" now. It became to expensive since the new GAE Billing has taken place. There's no "official" alternative (from Google) from what I've seen.
