We (as others) do this

condor_submit -a 'concurrency_limits=BIGDATA' submit.txt

where BIGDATA is set to 10 on our matchmaking node.
We also have other values, like THROTTLE100, with the obvious values.

In the local config for the matchmaking node, add:
CONCURRENCY_LIMIT_DEFAULT = 10000
BIGDATA_LIMIT = 10
THROTTLE100_LIMIT = 100

etc.


I guess it is per condor_submit rather than per user; and needs user
cooperation (but you could wrap condor_submit up in a proxy script).
