 Replying to [ticket:28864 teor]:
 > After sbws queues an `AsyncResult`, it will wait forever for the result
 to be ready:

 > If at least one result hangs, then sbws will hang, because
 `AsyncResult.ready()` does not have a timeout.

 In theory this won't happen, since both circuits and requests have a
 timeout. Also the sleep happen in the main thread, not the thread that is
 getting the results

 > Instead, sbws should call `AsyncResult.wait([timeout])` on each result,
 after calling `pool.apply_async()` on a large number of results.

 I'll try this anyway
