Comment 10 for bug 420508

Thank you for the description of the environment and the situation. This
helps me to much better understand the situation.

Yes, the previously proposed patch would make things generally better.
There might still be very large delays, but they would mostly be finite
in nature.

If I can't get my patch accepted upstream in a reasonable amount of time,
then we will go with the proposed patch for the time being and then I
will continue to pursue the better option.
