Setup a simple Resque Job Scheduler..
8 queues (q0... q7)
Jobs in q0 run twice as often as jobs in q1
Jobs in q1 run twice as often as jobs in q2, etc
Minimum of 16 workers on q0
q0 checked at least 10 times per second on average (using all workers)
RSpec tests .. including a job that can re-schedule itself at a priority -1 lower than it's current priority,
Use "god" to initiate service
This is a nice self-contained fixed-scope Ruby project. If it works... there will be more!
Any further clarification - please ask....
