25 * When you have many workers (threads/servers) giving service, and a
26 * cached item expensive to produce expires, you may get several workers
27 * doing the job at the same time.
29 * Given enough requests and the item expiring fast (non-cacheable,
30 * lots of edits...) that single work can end up unfairly using most (all)
31 * of the cpu of the pool. This is also known as 'Michael Jackson effect'
32 * since this effect triggered on the english wikipedia on the day Michael
33 * Jackson died, the biographical article got hit with several edits per
34 * minutes and hundreds of read hits.
36 * The PoolCounter provides semaphore semantics for restricting the number
37 * of workers that may be concurrently performing such single task.
39 * By default PoolCounter_Stub is used, which provides no locking. You
40 * can get a useful one in the PoolCounter extension.
