Golang Workers / Job Queue

A running example of the code from:

• http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-minute-with-golang
• http://nesv.github.io/golang/2014/02/25/worker-queues-in-go.html

This gist creates a working example from blog post, and a alternate example using simple worker pool.

TLDR: if you want simple and controlled concurrency use a worker pool.

	maxqueue = flag.Int("q", runtime.NumCPU()*2, "largest queue size")
