It is known that for decreasing hazard rate (DHR) service times the foreground-background discipline (FB) minimizes the mean delay in the M/G/1 queue among all work-conserving and nonanticipating service disciplines. It is believed that a similar result is valid for increasing mean residual lifetime (IMRL) service times. However, on the one hand, we point out a flaw in an earlier proof of the latter result and construct a counter-example that demonstrates that FB is not necessarily optimal within class IMRL. On the other hand, we prove that the mean delay for FB is smaller than that of the processor-sharing discipline within class IMRL, giving a weaker version of an earlier hypothesis.

We study the expected delay in a cyclic polling model with mixtures of exhaustive and gated service in heavy traffic. We obtain closed-form expressions for the mean delay under standard heavy-traffic scalings, providing new insights into the behaviour of polling systems in heavy traffic. The results lead to excellent approximations of the expected waiting times in practical heavy-load scenarios and moreover, lead to new results for optimizing the system performance with respect to the service disciplines.
