6.0 is advertised to have multiple job queues. Does anyone have any details?
It would dramatically help online performance if some portion of the memory
could be allocated based on session and job queue priorities. TWIUI
currently, the OS and some third party tools allow some fixed objects, but
all of the rest of memory is allocated using a global frequently used
method. Thus if I have jobs active they can force session pages out quickly.
