The event streaming endpoint (event/get) currently waits up to five seconds for events to arrive. If events arrive after this five-second window, then they will never be sent to stream listeners. We should probably stream events in natural order using a tailable cursor (or similar), such that delayed events arrive delayed rather than being dropped. Better late than never!
