Because in the end it's a time deadline we need to fulfill.
Would it make sense to just process up to a specified
number of
"waiting" events? So basically if events are waiting *now*, you process
some of them, and the one coming between now and the end of the cycle
would be processed next cycle.
Sure, but how do you define "some"? What is to define "some" based on
time, since that's what the deadline is about in the end.
