I have been slashdotted, and as best I could tell it handled it fine. The individual nodes are slow, especially since the box is probably doing lots of other things. If the task can be parallelized, this is a non issue. If it can't (which may be insanely rare) then it won't work. Most of my time on AppEngine has been trying to make smaller and faster requests that handle less and less data.
