As to phantom operations, I find it surprising that most sites don't use a plugin process, where you have a single phantom that loops to process any tasks that are required.
Ding, ding - I'm with Tony. I've long used what Tony mentions here. You can also get more sophistocated with this by having the background looping process spawn other processes should the queue begin to get too long (eg: add a new checkout clerk). It works well and it's not terribly hard to accomplish.
