The implementation had a problem, though: - if a queue sent several possibly idling requests and a noidle request... 7 Jul 2010 12:22

RQ_NOIDLE can be used to mark the last request of a sequence for which - we want to idle between the requests of the sequence, to keep locality - we don't want to idle after the sequence, because we know that no new nea... 7 Jul 2010 12:22
