minus-squareexprlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoUmm, queueing is standard practice particularly when a task is performance intensive and needs limited resources. Basically any programming language using any kind of asynchronous runtime is using queues in their scheduler, as well.

While taking Amdal’s Law into account. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl’s_law
minus-squareexprlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months agoAh gotcha, fair enough. Definitely depends on the workload. If you have compute you want to dedicate to solely to a single task, have at it.
