Yup, that's the idea. Originally though, I said that the queue's size will have to be bounded. I've been thinking about it for a while and I think there's a way to keep it growing dynamically. I'll bounce some ideas around on c.p.t newsgroup and will come back to you shortly.
I've just posted the description of the solution with some questions to the c.p.t: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/browse_thread/thread... Andy.
