To contribute to this discussion, I myself found my low-traffic app experiencing seemingly inexplicable "backlog too deep" errors late last week, but I didn't notice any accompanying error reports on status.heroku.com. A quick 'heroku restart' fixed it. Can an overly-large slug size contribute to this problem?
