ThejobswillgenerallybesmallandcandowithjustoneMergeengine.
Mixed jobs that are processed in parallel.Inasituationwheresmall,mediumandlargejobscan
comeinatanytimeandshouldbehandledinparallel,thechallengeistofindabalancebetweenhow
muchpowercanbeallocatedtojobs(tominimizethetimetheycost)andhowlongtheycanwait.No
singlejobshouldrequirealloftheprocessingpower,unlessitisacceptableforittohavetowaituntil
themaximumnumberofenginesfinallycomesavailable-andthenallotherjobswillhavetowait.
