My last post was delayed 11 minutes, which is longer than it
should be, but not awful.

Gary's post a while back about the humongous queue made me wonder
if there's some misconfiguration where undeliverable messages are
never timed out, leading to an ever-growing queue. I think the
typical timeout is around four days. First-order, this should
only cause a disk space issue, but if the code scales poorly to
large queues it could also cause slowness.
