Is a job with no time requirements a long job or a short job? 

Also in my experience users don't pay much attention to jobs which fail
- they just get automatically resubmitted elsewhere until they
eventually run to completion, often after having travelled around
several sites. There seems to be little incentive to improve the job
success rates for users, VO's or sites.
