I am not sure on the exact semantics of the 4.6.4 engine, but in any case you
need to limit concurrency (and thus speed) as much as possible. If you really
need sequence, that means you need to run it on a single thread (with a
direct mode main queue). The defaults look like they "preserve sequence", and
you will see the inevitable out of sequence only when heavy traffic occurs.

However, any approach to trying to "preserve sequence" will not work if
looked at closely enough, so there is nothing that can be preseverd. Details
are in my Linux Kongress paper:
