Akka for persistent work queue

I'm writing a web application in Play 2.2.2, and after a user updates some state, I need to perform some additional costly processing. I'd like to schedule this processing asynchronously so as not to block the user. One option is to put work items onto a BlockingQueue, and have worker thread(s) take items from it. However, if the app crashes, I'd lose the pending items.

Would Akka be a good fit for this problem instead?
