Here is a link to a BMC Communities article that is the best I’ve ever seen about fast and list threads, good work from David Still

List Threads ** Just to help (maybe) solve a long standing problem, let me point this out. I ran a Google search for a quote from the excerpt you cited from the product documentation: "The fast queue handles the operations that generally run to completion quickly" Guess what result did not show up on the first page of results... BMC's product documentation... What logic they have to withhold their documentation from robots indexing it is beyond me. If memory serves me correctly BMC has gone to lengths to ensure that APIs, documentation, javadoc, systematic workflow documentation, etc. are not available on the web. Maybe someone can help me understand the logic here because it eludes me...

The fast queue handles all server operations, except for: Administrative operations that restructure the database. These operations use the administration queue. The ARExport, ARGetListEntry, ARGetListEntryWithFields, and ARGetEntryStatistics, and other API calls (which use the list queue). For more information about API calls, see the C API Reference. One or more threads can serve the fast queue if a fast queue is configured. To configure a fast queue, see “Defining queues and configuring threads” on page 160. List queue The list queue handles AR System operations that might require significant time, block access to the database, or both. Examples of these operations include ARExport, ARGetListEntry, ARGetListEntryWithFields, and ARGetEntryStatistics. One or more threads can serve the list queue if a list queue is configured. To configure a list queue, see “Defining queues and configuring threads” on page 160.
