That helps a bit, but there are still delays when starting workers for new
subscriptions. I think we'd need to create a new array in shared memory
for subscription OIDs that need their workers started immediately.
I'm not totally sure this is worth the effort. These delays surface in the
tests because the workers are started so frequently. In normal operation,
this is probably unusual, so the launcher would typically start new workers
immediately. But if you and/or others feel this is worthwhile, I don't
mind working on the patch.
