At least for public-inbox-httpd, this allows us to avoid having
a client monopolize one event loop tick of the server for too
long. It hurts throughput for the /all.mbox.gz endpoint, but I
doubt anybody cares and the latency improvement for other
clients would be appreciated.
We already do the same fairness thing for HTML pages.
