Just wanted to pass on my experience with the new FIFO scheduling,
since it wasn't working as I expected when first enabled.
It appears that FIFO only schedules the jobs on the same job server. If
you want all renders across the network to schedule FIFO, you need to
make sure that jobs are sent to one submit host only, which then orders
them based on the job age.
One trick would also be to have more than one designated submit host,
so you could have separate FIFO queues for different tasks.
That's it... something that might have been obvious to other admins,
but I think it's worth documenting here.
