OK. Set up a load balanced infinite loop. Result: A load balanced infinite loop. This is not a win for Node. Load balancing across a number of hung processes buys you very little. (Not quite zero; you get a chance to detect the fact that it's hung and restart it, as long as these pathological requests aren't coming in fast enough. Hope the user who poked the bug doesn't hit refresh too many times!)

I still think you may not understand what modern schedulers end up doing here.
