Sorry, I forgot to provide some important details. Someday I won't be so noobish about all this stuff. :)
I'm using Ruby 1.8.6 on Windows XP, Rails 2.3.2, heroku gem 1.15.1, and delayed_job gem 2.0.5. I would have tried ddollar's heroku-autoscale, but it's not ready for production apps, and from what I've read, doesn't scale workers, only dynos. I tried lostboy's workless gem, but couldn't get it working (sorry, it's been several days, and I can't remember why it didn't work--I may try again). Thanks.
