flexfax: Interesting loading characteristics

[darren@hylafax.org]

Folks,

I think this has been reported before, but what the hell ;-)

About 3000 jobs in the queue at the present time. One poor modem will 
eventually send them all. Only the modem is barely getting used at the moment. 
faxq has completely pegged out at about 90-95% CPU, and faxsends are going 
zombie while faxq loops doing SOMETHING, then eventually returns to say hello 
to its child. I'm able to send about 5-6 faxes/hour presently, on a relatively 
meaty pentium/linux box.

If anyone's interested in tuning HylaFAX to deal with large queues more 
gracefully, let me know - I am likely to have this queue for quite some time 
and can test any code which may arise ;-)
