Great! I'll give it a try when you update. I use @Timeout also,
but I haven't been stress-testing that stuff as much yet.
According to the docs, PriorityBlockingQueue is always unbounded,
so at least one other queue type would be needed if bounded queues
are to be an option (making MaximumPoolSize meaningful).
