I'm not clear on the operation of the producer consumer queue threading logic. Here's my question: If the producer sends a task to the worker thread and while the worker thread is performing the task if the producer has a new task for the worker will it (producer) send the task to the worker thread even if the worker thread has not completed the first task?

I know that there is a lot of information and probably you are expecting the direct answer to your question but I'm pretty sure that after learning this article you will have no question about Threading :)
