Several causes, as far as I can make out:

1. Lots of big, new imports.

2. A double-whammy increase in server load.  Long story.

3. Re-uploads of entries that failed previously take the original 
uploads' places in the queue.

Working on it!  Optimizing problems in production that we can't 
reproduce on test machines is a bit like doing crossword puzzles in the 
dark, but people are coming up with some interesting problem causes and 
solutions.

I won't have time to look into this list any further this weekend, but 
please remind me Monday if there is anything that needs my attention!
