Has anyone actually informed the user/VO that his jobs are causing
problems. The low efficiency is probably being caused by the fact that
while the job is waiting for input files it is idle. Ignoring the file
transfer issue, since biomed are also a smaller VO, and therefore there
jobs basically run when our Main V0s are not (they have low fairshare)
does it matter if their jobs have low efficiency?

I should add that this same user has submitted ~11K jobs to our HTC in
the last 2 weeks with a cpu/wall clock efficiency
of ~ 4.6K hours/ 146K hours =~ 3% :
Username njob % wall user system cpu
biomed032 7288 20 90949 1466 224 2907
biomed032 2741 16 56169 1310 100 1751
cheers,
Alex
