I now realised I probably need some kind of job preemption to make
things work the way I want them to. I'll take a look at how slurm does that.
Cheers, Christian.

I can see you are weighting the size of a job, so that should help increase
its priority and get in front of the other jobs.
To see how the priorities for waiting jobs are being calculated run "sprio -l"
and you'll see how those priorities are working out. That will let you
juggle the weightings to get what you want.
All the best,
