[STR New]

If there are very many completed jobs preserved in the history, an
IPP-Get-Jobs operation may tie up the scheduler in get_jobs() for several
minutes with 100% CPU usage, preventing jobs being serviced.

Perhaps it ought to be possible to configure CUPS to deny requests that do
not use the 'limit' attribute if the result would exceed some certain
number of jobs?
