There's no problem consuming inputs at different rates.  The forecast
routine just needs to "do the right thing".  However, all outputs must
be produced at the same rate.

There's no quick way to work around this.  The immediate problem is
that work and general_work return a single value giving the amount of
output produced on all output streams.  There's a reason that more
advanced languages support mutliple return values...

Not sure if this helped or not ;)
