Are you saying that workers should be started before any tasks are queued 
(by an arbitrary number of users) which will be running for an arbitrary 
amount of time? 

If the answer is no

Here is the set up: There is a grid of files from which a user can generate 
'offspring' files in all possible     combinations. Previous inquiry has 
led me to think the scheduler could be used for multiprocessing here 
(instead of the ostensibly problematic multiprocessing module). 
The queued tasks are derived from the python script that processes 
user-selected files, called in the controller when these file id's are 
passed via ajax.

Otherwise,

Is there a processing brick wall here? If, for instance, the app was on 
Google App Engine, could I simply start a large number of idle workers to 
handle potential spikes in user requests?


Thank you for the response
