A runtime controller, which cancels and relaunches delayed units on [CrowdFlower](http://www.crowdflower.com) to improve the overall task execution time.

An example of an execution timeline for a task with 20 units on CrowdFlower:

A comparison of a task with 100 units ran 3 times *without* and 3 times *with* **ReLauncher**:

To use the demo you need to enter your CrowdFlower API Key, you can find [here](https://make.crowdflower.com/account/user). This API key is not stored anywhere and is used only to send requests to CrowdFlower from your account.
