Given that he's stuck with the limitations of using spool files, the one advantage of transferring them to the workers immediately is that it provides extra queueing space. Instead of being limited to 10k files at peak times, he can accommodate a backlog of 10k per worker (plus 10k for the stalled queue manager while it waits to be able to transfer more to the workers). ¬R Blather, Rinse, Repeat. http://users.bestweb.net/~notr/telecom.html
