our understanding is that priority _only_ impacts which queue gets drawn
from when resources become available. That's correct, right?

Thanks! never looked at that. Can you clarify what "suspension" means? is
it SIGSTOP; followed by SIGCONT when resources are free? As mentioned we
don't want jobs to swap out, but hadn't considered subordinate_list, since
it is not something we are familiar with. If my new understanding is
correct, we can forget about using injecting nice into qsub; and get the
desired effect with subordinate_list and queue priority alone? Is there any
way (best way) to prevent stopped jobs from swapping out?
