Credit where credit is due, the article that I was referring to was on OTN.  It 
was Cameron O'Rourke's "Do You Queue?"

There are a number of applications where you may want some processing to happen 
but you don't want users to necessarily wait for the results of that 
processing.  

One of the better AQ case studies (I'm guessing it was an OTN article, but I'm 
not 100% sure) I've seen involved a call center application.  When customers 
called in to change some attribute of their account, the system was originally 
set up so that the operator (and customer) had to wait while the system did a 
complete verification that the account was consistent (if you change addresses 
and move out of state, for example, your long distance plan may no longer be 
valid), which took, say 30 seconds.  Since 99% of the time the results were 
that everything was OK, the application was modified to assume that the changes 
would be valid, do the check in the background, and, depending on when the 
results came back, either correct the error later on in the call or call the 
customer back.  The result was that they saved a lot of time that was 
previously wasted for the machine.

Hi, sorry
I had read the documentation, and an article I found 
http://www.oug-ottawa.org/oougpresentations/2003jan23_advanced_queuing.zip

But I still can't figure out when you SHOULD use it, I don't know if you
could please give an example about the use of this features.

Please
