Be sure you do not have something that is periodically creating a
burst of tasks into a task queue. I believe the scheduler responds to
this by thinking, "Wow. I've got a lot of tasks to clear as soon as
possible." This could be very detrimental to your instance counts as
you may get a burst of instances to clear the tasks - yet each
instance lives many minutes past its useful purpose. Look to your
queue.yaml to govern any TQ that does not need quick response.
