I have the "problem" with the full queue, since about a week. So I
don't think its a temporary problem.
Even it would had been a temporary problem, by rendering more tiles,
the load on the server would incrase and the problem back.

While waiting you could do some other numbercrunching, maybe for boinc
(boinc.berkeley.edu) or distributed.net.
