Pipeline Design for Bulk Record Updates

Just one more thought about the bulk trigger pipeline. If you want a compromise between the regular on new event, which floods your App with 5,000 requests at the same time and the Bulk Trigger which processes one by one, you could speed up the Bulk trigger by a factor of two by making a field which determines if the Record ID is even or odd.

Then you could duplicate the Bulk Trigger pipeline and had one of them do the evens and one of them do the odds. The effect of that is you would have the records being processed twice as fast through the Bulk Trigger Pipelines, but that still may be slow enough to have no impact on the performance of your app for the regular users.
