I'm not sure I agree, particularly in the case where
"broken-path" involves delegating work to another
processor.

Whenever you discover that in your design you risk sending
5,000-10,000 little delegations of work per second from one processor
to another and taking the entire box down in the process it is time to
seriously consider whether you've made the right design decisions.

That's all.
