Hi Risto,
  I think there were a few times when the taskqueue was not executing
tasks properly over the past week or so, I noticed tasks backing up
too.

  If you are not already, you might try to distribute your tasks
across several queues.  I frequently see some queues slow down while
others keep running tasks properly.
