Yes, same problem here. This happened during the day a couple days last week too. Tasks sit waiting to be dispatched even though none are running and the frontend instances are lightly loaded with low latency. A task runs once in a while, sporadically.
Cron jobs (once per minute in my case) also fail, only succeeding one in a while. They are "on time Failed", and my handler isn't even invoked when they fail. I'm assuming cron is using the same task infrastructure. Raised production issue http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5150 on this. App engine does a great job scaling user-facing requests, but I'm starting to wonder if when App Engine as a system overall is under heavy load it is doing so at the expense of non-user-facing requests. My app is lightly loaded now, but that will change - do I need to be worried that if my app is heavily asynchronous, with throughput and timeliness depending on smooth task queue operation, I will run into big problems at scale on days like today?
