Measurably? Not yet. I can observe it having some effect in watching the
priority queue when using mesa. But the actual test case under
investigation I don't hold much hope for - manual inspection there
suggests that the dependency chain should extend beyond the stall across
engines.

(It is a solution searching for a problem... Eeek.)
