Perhaps this is a bit simplistic, but what if you took your idea and
also kept a running estimate of the amount of load added by each job?
Start out assuming each job adds 1 unit of load, and then measure:
"Okay, I started 4 jobs last time, and the load went up by 8, so I
estimate each job causes 2
