The only thing that I can imagine is that one would allow one recipe to have the console for as long as it lasts and to postpone output from all other recipes till it finished. Having finished, the output from all other recipes that might have completed in the meantime would be flushed. The console would be given to the next uncompleted task. In this way many tasks would be so short as to give up the console quickly but a long running task would be sure to get the console as much as it needed it.
