There are a number of reasons for doing this:
1)
We can't let cpg_mcast_joined() fail because the user will not see it
and will assume is has succeded.

2)
The reason I am getting good performance is by providing a negitive
feedback loop from the totem q and the IPC/poll system. This relies
on 4 q states low/med/high/crit. With messages of size 1M you
now have a q of size one and now go from level low to crit instantly
then back to low as messages are put on and taken off. I don't think
this is the best behaviour. By having a q size of 4 allows the system
to utilize the q better and give us time to respond to changes in
the q level.

3)
To effective achieve flow control with a q of size 1 would require
all the clients to request the space on the q like is done in
totempg_groups_joined_reserve() but probably in shared memory
This would take quite a bit of re-work.
