A queue is FIFO oriented, a database is least-recently-used (LRU). It works, but is not going to be the most efficient tool. Where a queue is really useful is converting from foreground to background, so that you can optimize for throughput, rather than having to leave free capacity for 'random arrivals' of your foreground servers. Think of it as the same as the same problem as the bursty traffic that a bank machine gets, and why you always seem to have to line up. The mathematical term is Poisson distribution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution |
