[Click] click 1.8.0 Unqueue2 -> 100% CPU usage

[Eddie Kohler]

This is a good idea.  But I have another question.  Why did you want to use 
Unqueue2 anyway?  It feels like a silly element to me, one that was written 
years ago for some special purpose that no one remembers, and that should now 
be removed.
