We prioritise on number of CPUs and XFACTOR, thus..

# Ignore how long a job has been queued for.
QUEUETIMEWEIGHT 0

# Allow users to reduce job priority.
USERPRIOWEIGHT  1

# Use XFACTOR for prioritisation, and include bypass
SERVICEWEIGHT 10
XFACTORWEIGHT 100
BYPASSWEIGHT 1

# Weight on number of CPUs requested to give wider jobs
# higher priority.
RESWEIGHT 1
PROCWEIGHT 10
