I can't answer your question, only confirm that we are having the same
dilemma. Our restore build trees occur within a manageable time because
we're not restoring that often and when we do it's worth waiting a few
minutes, but when jobs are launched (a frequent event), the director can
become nonresponsive for several minutes per job launched. The launched
jobs wind up running ok, but our window into the status of the jobs and
what's been successfully launched (i.e. assigned a jobid) goes dark for
extended periods of time. So far we are living with it, but it's not
very pleasant, especially considering how well it worked in 3.0.3.
thanks,
Stephen
