Aspects include accessing a performance index, which relates to (dynamic) processing performances of work items as processed by the computerized processing elements. Aspects also include determining a time interval (during which the receiver may group queued work items into a block, according to the accessed performance index. Aspects further includes setting a timer to the determined time interval, to allow the receiver to group work items being queued until that time interval has elapsed, according to the timer set. As a result, a block of grouped work items will be obtained, which can then be passed to a scheduler for subsequent processing by computerized processing elements.
