Solaris 10 Zones and N1GE6

I am trying to decide if it is cool or if I have no life(this is generally
rhetorical) I recently (last night) created some more zones on one of my
machines. Subsequently I installed N1 Grid Engine 6. The install was
surprisingly easy. Literally 1) Install Packages 2) run
$SGE_ROOT/install_qmaster 3) share $SGE_ROOT via nfs 4) mount shared
$SGE_ROOT at $SGE_ROOT on each node 5) run $SGE_ROOT/install_execd on each
node 6) run jobs $SGE_ROOT/examples/jobs/pascal.sh 200 Things I have found
out: 1) 50000 jobs in simple queuing results in horrible io wait on an
underpowered PC         e.g. qstat may as well never respond for how long
it takes at 99% io wait 2) 20000 jobs in BerkeleyDB queuing isn't to bad,
but it will be a while before they are done running.         e.g. qstat
takes 3s to return the list (15727 entries currently) Things to try: 1)
add the little PCG-U3 laptop as an execution host 2) add my powerbook as
an execution host 3) add C-'s ibook as an execution host 4) pascal.sh 500,
just to see if 125250 jobs will kill it Remaining Jobs at 60s + qstat run
