+option and adding a --no-submit-stale option.
+- Make sure to start the getwork and submit threads when a pool is added on the

+switched to.
+- Faster hardware can easily outstrip the speed we can get work and submit
+shares when using only one connection per pool.
+- Test the queued list to see if any get/submits are already queued and if they
+are, start recruiting extra connections by generating new threads.
