Since the message below I have found the below config_aux entry. I have asked the project admin what values he has set. Other users have suggested its taking 1024 tasks before trying a different app. Other than this is there anything else the project admin can do so it tries the various apps more quickly?
MarkJ <version_select_random_factor>X</version_select_random_factor> In predicting which app version will be faster for a given host, multiply the projected FLOPS by a uniform random variable with mean 1 and this standard deviation (default 0.1).
