I really don't think it's possible without going to some scheme
where we use a single work struct and kick off things out of it,
or implement our own threading or similar things ...
But why is this unreliable and/or high latency anyway? It used
to be just fine .. maybe this is one of the cases where we should
actually be using a dedicated thread ...
