Ok, after reading your email again more closely, I realize I jumped the
gun with my previous reply.  As far as I know, walltime should always be
considered independant of the number of CPUs requested.  Atleast, that's
how I would expect it to behave and that is indeed how it has always
behaved for me.  For all I know, multiplying the walltime by the number of
processors specified should _not_ be the default, and that has been my
experience.
