Actually that's what Min-Pending-Latency is for: It will limit the number of instances that the scheduler spawns to handle incoming requests, by allowing them to sit up to Min-Pending-Latency in the pending queue waiting for an instance to be available before spawning a new one.
Setting Max-Active-Instance to 1 (if this setting existed) would have a similar effect than maxing Min-Pending-Latency to 15s: request would wait in the pending queue for that instance to be available. Hope that helps to understand this performance setting better.
