queuing systems and cpu usage? (Partly OT)

[Andrew Wang]

Just one point to share.

The latest version of Maui is available at:
http://www.supercluster.org/maui/

The version on http://mauischeduler.sourceforge.net/
is the `Molokini Edition', from what I have learnt
from other people, never use this version!

This is what people on the xcat list told me, I did
not try it, but seems like those are valid points:

Thanks,
Andrew.
