[HTCondor-users] Reducing the 12 second sleep?

12/08/14 16:53:26 Sleeping for 12 seconds to ensure ProcessId uniqueness

Does anyone know how to reduce this? It seems arbitarily long and is a 
problem when using SUBDAG EXTERNAL, as each subdag also adds another 12 
seconds of delay.

I found ProcessId::computeWaitTime and I see that the wait is calculated as
(3.0 * precision_range / time_units_in_sec)

I also found ProcAPI::createProcessId, which takes 4 arguments, the last 
of which is int* precision_range, but util_create_lock_file only calls 
it with 3. So it uses the defaults:

int ProcAPI::DEFAULT_PRECISION_RANGE = 4;

#if defined(HZ)
double ProcAPI::TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC = (double) HZ;
#elif defined(_SC_CLK_TCK)
double ProcAPI::TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC = (double) sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK);
#else // not linux
double ProcAPI::TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC = 1.0;
#endif

Therefore I guess TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC = 1.0 on both systems I'm using 
(Linux and OSX).

Is the time resolution really that poor? And is this just to get a 
unique condor pid?
