When the queue's MaxConcurrentOperationCount is > 1 there is a good chance that the queue is getting locked and unlocked by the operations completing while you are still adding more jobs to the queue however when you set it to 1, the queue gets more completely full before the jobs start to work off, meaning the looping of the URLArray finishes faster (avoiding being 'deadlocked' constantly).

If I recall the NSOperationQueue api correctly you can "suspend" and "resume" it... I recommend you set it to "suspended" until you are done adding all the jobs, then set it resumed
