If a work flow has a 3 week wait to start year round, it isn't load balancing, it is an obstacle.


Unless it's an average (or “up to”) of three weeks, or if part of the work is bypassed by meeting certain standards to start with.


Yes, I totally agree there are valid reasons to employ wait times. There are also nefarious and user hostile reasons. These come up more often when the interests of the users and providers are out of alignment.
