I guess that "over NFS" makes the difference here.

Spooling over NFS is not the best thing to do performance-wise. You might want  or need to do it because you have a fileserver which is highly available, of course.

Hi Mark

I am with Chris.  Classic meets large scale performance and reliability 
requirements.

I do not know any compelling reason to use BerkleyDB.
Interesting.  I did some benchmarks a year ago on our production cluster 
(see <http://markmail.org/message/xni5kqj2h3t6qjkd>) and saw a definite 
difference between classic and BDB when both were run over NFS.  Based on 
those (and the fact that misbehaving users submitting several thousands of 
jobs have crashed our scheduler not infrequently), I've been leaning 
towards moving our install to BDB.  Are there other tunables I should be 
looking at?
