From what I saw, it was mostly ovirt-engine and vdsm jobs pending on
the
queue while other slaves are idle.
we have over 40 slaves and we're about to add more, so I don't think that
will be an issue and IMO 3 per job is not enough, especially if you get
idle slaves.
We are thinking on a more dynamic approach of dynamic vm allocation on
demand, so in the long run we'll have more control over it,
for now i'm monitoring the queue size and slaves on a regular basis [1], so
if anything will get blocked too much time we'll act and adjust accordingly.

Issue was that long lasting jobs caused queue to increase too much.
Example: a patch set rebased on master and merged will cause triggering of
check-merged jobs, upgrade jobs, ...; running 6 instance of each of them
will cause all other projects to be queued for a lot of time.
