True, so if I restricted it to 1 thread, does that mean a job will share all avail cores? or will the CPU have one in use and 3 idle?
If the latter, there will be no effect.
If the former, then my situation would not change much, these jobs lasted over 10 hours, the 1st job would have been reduced to 2.5 hours approx, and that would be still too long. It would have to do all four in serial before it got to the important jobs.
The CPU gets real hot on these long jobs evidenced by the fan kicking in on high rpms, so there is another reason to desire this facility.
