Whoops, thanks.  I missed that when I was cleaning things up.

It is possible, but we won't make more than we used to.  The real
solution is to limit the workers per root, but the code isn't currently
structured for that.  Right now the workers will exit out if the number
of pending items is below the delayed limit, which isn't perfect but I
think it's the best I can do right now.

Do you see better ways to improve it?
