I believe when the server is backed up with incoming jobs the web interface gets almost no service, by design. I don't think this is true with .mail files that are waiting to be delivered by smtp. I have no idea how the code works, but I believe it would be fine to slow down the job flow to give the web interface better service. My rationale is that a person is waiting on the other end and once we get them started they will sit there and think for a while so the server can to back to working on jobs. I'd rather give better response time to the person at the expense of a little slower job turnaround. What do you think? -- A neutron goes into a bar and asks the bartender: How much for a beer? The bartender replies: For you, no charge.
