One thing that was mentioned was that one should be carefull about the
timing. When you send out jobs and then one worker connects then it
will grab all messages it can get. Then when the second worker
connects there might be no work left.

So you probably want to start all the worker and have them send an ACK
once they are connected and only then start queuing up jobs or so.
