I completely agree. I woke up to some crazy long page rendering time on NewRelic and couldn't figure out what was going on... until I saw the huge backlog of mixpanel events on my db. Not only is it making page rendering slow, even worse, it's tying up my background workers for 30 seconds at a time, causing a huge backlog on ALL my background tasks.

Same here. I wish we had an MP widget that insulated us from downtime from the mixpanel API.
