We have a nice little fibonacci sequence being calculated at the moment. Feels very dirty though. We also have multiple parallel threads where one might be backlogged and the other is idle. This means we slow down the backlogged thread.
We are looking at changing the way we do some of this, but at the moment, our system actually performs better with more load. I was thinking about making a call to a non-responsive web server (setup one with a sleep) and use URL timeouts.
