Are there limits on Batch Queue Manager

[Dougie Nisbet]

I tried enabling parallel processing but it makes no difference. The 
issue seems to be with queuing the selection. If I do Select All on my 
collection then try starting BQM it hangs indefinitely. However if I 
using Tools / Maintenance and select, e.g.  Auto Tag Assignment that 
works fine. So from my point of view, it's just a workflow issue that I 
can easily work around.
