That solution just tends to point out the fundamental flaws in using a complex OS to run highly parallel jobs in my opinion.

There is a real tendancy for clever people to want to solve problems. This isn't always a good thing in that we often come up with "bag on the side" solutions to deal with issues that are really a result of having what is in context a poor design.

I always try to take a step back in these situations and look at the big picture. Often times things appear in a whole new light when I do so and more productive paths forward present themselves.
