Hi Sylvain, Great question! The bucket sized is intended to allow you to regulate bursts of incoming task executions. For example, if you set the bucket size to 1, only one task in the queue can be started at a time. If the task queues quota bucket is empty, no new tasks for the queue will be started.
This differs slightly from rate (as noted in the docs): http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/queue.html#Queue_Definitions A high rate with a small bucket size means that new tasks will be executed quickly when the queue is empty, but only a small number of tasks will be started at once. So you could intentionally cause the queue to grow longer when lots of new tasks are being added to spread out your task execution more evenly.
