I wrote an answer on Super User [0] on how to use this neat tool. There are use cases where it really comes in handy. For example when copying a lot of files around to various folders that sits on the same disk so that you can assume that it won't run efficiently in parallel.
When I think of it even lftp has queue and jobs commands. But "task spooler" is the generic tool you can use for more general use cases than file copying.
