Don't forget about the potentials of a priority based queue! (That being
said I actually have no idea what goes into our job queues; so can't say if
there's good candidates for priority based queuing.)

I know Aaron has spent a lot of time on the job queue. But I have
several observations and would like some feedback. The current workers
apparently select jobs from the queue at random. A FIFO method would
make far more sense. We have some jobs that can sit there in the queue
for extended periods of time, while others added after that point may
get completed in mere few minutes.
Well random is not the only method. There is also timestamp based and FIFO.
