I don't think there's a choice.  If the CM processes MADs from one queue
and time wait expirations from another, it's not possible to prevent
the MAD queue from getting arbitrarily far ahead of the time wait
queue.  This results in QPs never being reaped and eventually the
system runs out of memory.
