we just limit the number of job a user can submit in a execution queue, for 
example for a 512 node cluster. we have set for the serial queue.
{{{
create queue q_serial
set queue q_serial queue_type = Execution
set queue q_serial max_user_queuable = 512
set queue q_serial acl_host_enable = False
set queue q_serial resources_max.nodect = 1
set queue q_serial resources_default.ncpus = 1
set queue q_serial resources_default.neednodes = q_serial
set queue q_serial resources_default.nodes = 1
set queue q_serial enabled = True
set queue q_serial started = True
}}}

I user can not run more the 512 jobs this is equal to the number of nodes in 
the cluster. The other jobs are held in in the routing queue. So every time a 
job has finished a job a new job can enter the execution queue.  The jobs are 
held by torque so maui does not see all jobs. So this will prevent floodinf the 
maui queues.
