Sorry folks for the long delay fixing this.  I just committed the last 
fix for this problem, so Tasque from SVN should be working now.  I'll be 
rolling a 0.1.8 release very soon.

I did not implement any of the recommended optimizations yet, but I 
still think they are a good idea and would accept patches in that area.  
All I did was fix the API URL and limit our requests to no more than 1 
per second.  There is a slight delay in refreshing and creating RTM 
tasks now; hopefully it is not enough to impact your workflow!

Please let me know if you are still experiencing this problem even with 
the fix.

Thanks,
Sandy
