You might want to look into the algorithm for scheduling workers, as mentioned here http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/queue.html#Queue_Definitions
<bucket-size> (push queues only) Task queues use a "token bucket" algorithm for dequeueing tasks. The bucket size limits how fast the queue is processed when many tasks are in the queue and the rate is high. This allows you to have a high rate so processing starts shortly after a task is enqueued, but still limit resource usage when many tasks are enqueued in a short period of time. If no <bucket-size> is specified for a queue, the default value is 5. For more information on the algorithm, see the Wikipedia article on token buckets. which links to this Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_Bucket Haven't studied it yet, but your 100 bucket size might be influencing things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
