You may find significant performance benefits, with shorter jobs, in
distributing the runtime ahead of time to any/most machines that would
run jobs. Most of the gain through reduced network traffic (especially
if the fileserver you are using is loaded). This is of course a pain
so if you could make your job/script suficiently smart to work out if
the runtime was present on the machine it ran on (and if not get it
from some accessible location) that would work.
