I don't have "operator knowledge", but reasonable insight what's running 
good on my machine and what not.

I know, that a single Climate is more effective than 2 in parallel, I 
get this set-up by setting CPDN to NNW after every DL and manually look 
after the WU once it's finished. As they take quite long it's not that 
big effort, but an automatism would be fine.

I know that I must not crunch more than 2 WUs of VirtualPrairie in 
parallel, they get veeeryyy slooowww in this case. This is a task that 
can only be done properly with very much fiddling with stopping bunches 
of WUs, setting NNW, constantly babysitting the tasks tap. Otherwise the 
WU will take double as much time as needed, a big waste of computation 
power.

I'd very much like an option to set each project to a max. number of 
parallel running WUs. It will probably be 4 for most projects on my 
quad, but not for CPDN, CPDNbeta, VirtualPrairie and probably more in 
the future.
