Don't worry about "free", that only applies to the state reported from
pbs_mom with regards to the node's load average and $ideal_load and
$max_load configs.

It's more bad than just reporting.  pbs_server should not allocate the
same CPU to multiple jobs.

Can you send me full server, queue, and job configs?  Are you using
job suspend preemption?
