You could enable PROFILE in the schedulers params to get a bit more info on what is going on. Check if people are soft requesting resources/queues as these are supposed to slow it down a lot. Try to run the qmaster on a dedicated machine or if that isn't possible on dedicated cores. You could also try setting JC_FILTER in params even though it is officially deprecated. We have two clusters run centrally at UCL. The main difference betwween them being that the newer one has a uniform flat infiniband network and identical hosts. The older cluster has a lot of different hardware and isolated infiniband islands. The infiniband islands each have their own PE which is matched by a PE wildcard in job submissions. The older cluster takes a lot longer to schedule. It sounds like you might have a similarly complex config. William
