I'm not doing anything with Task Queue at the moment. I'm using the Lucene implementation from Compass (and I've used it elsewhere too), so I am familiar with it.

From memory, I think Compass had a unique problem with the 30 second limit because it would try and re-sync the non-Lucene data with the Lucene indexes (I can't remember what the trigger was for this).

I had quite a lot of issues with Compass-GAE - my impression was that it wasn't really production ready. However, I did notice that Google is using it for their ThoughSite example app, so maybe it has improved.
