I'd like to see changes to the scheduler that would let you control
concurrency by groups (same bandwidth-limited network path, VMs on
the same physical host, etc.), but in the case of a single large host
I think it would take major changes to the scheduler to match the
options you get by pretending it is two or more independent targets.
Usually the thing you need most in that situation is the ability to
skew the slower full runs of different sections to happen different
days.
