Unequal work Distribution

Lucas, I've run a command:

grep 'Giving' logfile cut d 'G' -f 2 sort uniq -c sort -n

On the debug from the scheduler for several variola runs.

T5_1 is 1x10k

T5_2 is 2x10k

T5_10 is 10x10k

The logs show that work is not being handed out equally.

Perhaps this relates to the other issue? perhaps its independednt?
