this discussion is getting into the details -- i guess I could make a page for singlethreaded on Perlforge if it existed, or we could move the discussion to rt, for instance
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7446 IMO it would be nice if RT provided an "announce" mailing list for each queue. It might have something like that already, with the possiblity of receiving reports for new tickets created in queues you have signed up for.
