[torqueusers] One queue (fast) works - one queue doesn't (medium)

[Thomas H Dr Pierce]

Dear Schedulers,
I cannot tell if this is a Torque or a Maui issue. 

Basically one queue runs jobs (the fast queue)  and the other does not 
(the medium queue). It seems like it wants a SWAP of 16 GB. A setting I 
cannot overwrite. 

Why would one queue work and the other not?

Thanks for your help.
