A silent round of applause for you. Very much appreciated. And actually, I have been looking at properly supporting host-wide tag maps, so the concept of 'shallow' queue depth might be the way to go here. And as I have some other questions, too (assigning a new tag on requeue?) it might be an idea to spread this out into a formal session at LSF. If there are some slots left, that is.
