unless you define the queue type, it defaults to 'direct' (i.e. no queue)

so in these snippets, there isn't actually a queue for this action, all the
backlog is taking place on the main queue

enable impstats and it will show you where the backlong is occuring
(impstats output is nicer if you add name="something" to the actions,
otherwise they are just named action 4, action 5, etc)

Try adding queue.type="FixedArray" to the action.

Also, unless you have benchmarked things and know that you need multiple
threads (possible, but unlikely. it would take the template being really
messy to require it), having the workerThreads set to 3 instead of 1 will
actually slow everything down due to contention on the queue.
