I've tried to explain my view of this to toad, but lets see if mentioning it here gets me anywhere: With trailers async, there is no local limit on how many trailers we can start, that is we will keep queueing up trailers till we are blue in the face, causing tremendous slowness in the actual transfer of said trailers. IT IS MY __HUMBLE__ opinion that this behavior is less desirable than having threads block on trailer sends forcing the node to limit itself on how many trailers it can start.
I agree with Brandon.
Would you rather go to a restaurant where they just kept accepting more customers, slowing the service afforded to their existing customers, or would you prefer that a restaurant did its best to serve its existing customers, and didn't accept new customers if existing customers would suffer?
I would prefer the latter, and would point out that the latter restaurant may well end up serving as many if not more customers overall than the former.
