You can turn this around though, too. The current bottleneck is pretty anomalous over the course of the last year. The pool has gotten bigger and smaller, but it's been relatively stable and it's been flowing relatively well most of that time.
Making two new teams won't drop the app pool down so low that everyone will necessarily see it as a great time to app. We had pretty good equilibrium there for a while. If we could get the queue back into the 20-30 range, things may well balance out again.
