As an additional data point, I enabled NFS between the mythjobqueue
running machine and the BE and these "Waited ... seconds" messages are gone.

Quite clearly, NFS is able to keep up with the jobs on the remote
machine.  Why is Myth BE unable to keep up?  I would actually think/hope
that a purpose-designed streaming protocol would be more efficient than
a general filesharing protocol like NFS, not less.

Thoughts?
