I found this in the FAQ's
"delay pools are incompatible with slow aborts; quick abort should be
set fairly low to prevent objects being retrived at full speed once
there are no clients requesting them (as the traffic allocation is
based on the current clients, and when there are no clients attached
to the object there is no way to determine the traffic allocation)".

Is it somehow releated to this and how can I deal with it?
