RE: RUNPTY

["Pytel, Alexei" <pytela1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not think there's anything technical in it.
Just some jobs will run better at expense of others.
If they are really so important then they should have higher priority,
but this is a management decision, not technical.

    Best regards,

          Alexei Pytel
