The other thing to bear in mind about queues is that once they start showing of symptoms of something being wrong, collapse might be just around the corner or it might not be depending on the nature of the load.
When congestion spikes start showing it is helpful to know some queuing theory to estimate how close the situation is to eating someone's weekend. Congestion collapses are an interesting time because most people don't know queue theory or how to reason using balance equations, it is possible to misdiagnose the problem or waste a stressful few days trying to work out a congestion situation by experiment.
