1. A method for determining a set of messages to process in a computing system, comprising:
- establishing a waiting period for a set of messages to be processed by a computing system;
using a processor to determine whether any messages arrive over a network to be processed during the pendency of the waiting period;
re-starting the waiting period to wait for new messages if any of the messages arrive during the pendency of the waiting period; and
selecting the existing set of messages to be processed by the computing system if there are no new messages that arrive during the pendency of the waiting period.
