Detailed Description
When you have many workers (threads/servers) giving service, and a cached item expensive to produce expires, you may get several workers doing the job at the same time.
Given enough requests and the item expiring fast (non-cacheable, lots of edits...) that single work can end up unfairly using most (all) of the cpu of the pool. This is also known as 'Michael Jackson effect' since this effect triggered on the english wikipedia on the day Michael Jackson died, the biographical article got hit with several edits per minutes and hundreds of read hits.
The PoolCounter provides semaphore semantics for restricting the number of workers that may be concurrently performing such single task.
By default PoolCounter_Stub is used, which provides no locking. You can get a useful one in the PoolCounter extension.
