	Solution is always “dump the Q”. Which means you do care about how long it takes to process items. So you want the queue to always be empty

	Which means you only want a non-failing Q.

	So why not admit it, use in-proc buffers, run enough servers to handle load? Reject work up front instead of dropping oldest items w/…
