PHP and Queue Systems?

I certainly haven't seen such a system in this community, although it would probably be a real pleasure to dissect. The first commercial solution that comes to mind is Zend Platform.

The best approach would probably be to start quite small and make sure that the foundation is rock solid. It will be all the little things that make or break such a system. For example, one thing that is often overlooked in regular old applications is database optimization. Considering the amount of queries you're proposing, you definitely want to set priorities for your queries so as not to bring down the whole application with your backend scripts.

I believe you're on to something that could benefit everyone here, so please continue to share.
