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.
