What's the latest on this?  I think Jason had some work with FJP he was testing out...

> Currently all our execution stages dequeue tasks one at a time.  This can result in contention between producers and consumers (although we do our best to minimize this by using LinkedBlockingQueue).
> One approach to mitigating this would be to make consumer threads do more work in "bulk" instead of just one task per dequeue.  (Producer threads tend to be single-task oriented by nature, so I don't see an equivalent opportunity there.)
> BlockingQueue has a drainTo(collection, int) method that would be perfect for this.  However, no ExecutorService in the jdk supports using drainTo, nor could I google one.
> What I would like to do here is create just such a beast and wire it into (at least) the write and read stages.  (Other possible candidates for such an optimization, such as the CommitLog and OutboundTCPConnection, are not ExecutorService-based and will need to be one-offs.)
> AbstractExecutorService may be useful.  The implementations of ICommitLogExecutorService may also be useful. (Despite the name these are not actual ExecutorServices, although they share the most important properties of one.)
