Hello,

For Magentoerpconnect (and co) modules in V7, we want to implement a 
jobs queue. Nothing started yet, but we already had some thinking about 
that.

What we actually plan is to have, at least, a naive implementation of a 
queue on top of Postgres (to avoid external dependencies) which will be 
the default queue used for the connectors.

In the connectors, the queue will be replaceable, so a more advanced 
queue implementation could be used (thought about using Celery[1] and 
RabbitMQ[2] for instance).

Concerning the API slowness, you are right at least for Magento. Its API 
is awfully slow. Though, using a queue 'inside' the connectors won't 
worsen the current situation. By cons, they will bring decoupling (so 
easier debugging, easier integration of features, etc), visibility on 
the jobs/load, ensure atomicity of synchronizations, ...

Have a nice day
