[Mauiusers] Re: [torqueusers] maui + torque job start rate

[Stijn De Weirdt]

hi tom,

i couldn't find your original mail, but found the patch
http://www.clusterresources.com/pipermail/mauiusers/2008-June/003405.html

it's working great. speed is now limited again by gold interaction, but
at least i now get approx 2 jobs/sec, so a 4 time increase.

thanks a lot!!
