True - was this behavior discussed on any list before, whether it's a feature 
or a bug? When "cpu" and "mem" is already the reserved integral value, you can 
compute this "maxvmem" easily affterwards. There it no need to set it IMO.

Yes, as long as the jobs are not reprioritized with different nice values 
and/or the exechosts are oversubscribed, i.e. you have slots=cores.

You would charge for the run time then (in case you do it)?
