Looks like the high-prio queue is back to normal, all is well. :) Please
continue uploading.

Should people refrain from uploading videos at this

Quick update -- I tested some batch-reencoding of missing low-res files and
have flooded the high-priority queue. :) Thanks for your patience as we get
the balance right.
I'll add a throttle to TimedMediaHandler's requeueTranscodes.php so I can
"fire-and-forget" on the background jobs without disturbing things...

Ok, the video scaler queue change is now live: SD
and low-resolution
video
output runs on a new, high-priority queue, with
HD video output and
transcodes of files over 15 minutes in length run on the old queue.
Note that existing queued conversions will continue to run on the
low-priority queue until it runs out, but most new uploads from here out
will have web-ready output much faster.
(Load on the servers may be unbalanced for a bit, and may require further
tweaking to best balance responsiveness and throughput, so we'll keep an
eye on the graphs.)
