Subject: [Condor-users] Condor performance problem
Hello everyone:
I realised a common performance problem (might be) in condor. For example I submit 10 jobs in condor pool, even if at that moment there were absolutely enough idle condor nodes (50 nodes), not all the 10 jobs could run immediately. Only some of them instantly started to run while others started to run later on. This is one log:

It is not a big problem if all the jobs are relatively long, but if the jobs are very short compared with the delay and we got huge numbers of jobs, that would be a apparent problem.
So, could anybody tell me why this problem happen? Is that because the match making process only can process one job per time?
