How many regions are starving is irrelevant. It's the amount of effort, on a repetitive basis, that is required to keep them from starving.
I see that you can keep orders on the market for 14 days. Would a valid stop-gap measure be upping this amount to 30 days immediately? This would off-load some of the stress while dev is done on the new market related features. (Though, I don't see a single task done every 14 days to be one of great effort.)
