running the job twice is likely going to be our solution. it's<br>
painful when you have multiple people running multiple jobs, in that<br>
it wastes resources, but such is life.<br>

i was intrigued by Joe's suggestion of snapshot'ing kvm instances. i<br>
might look into that as an academic exercise. i knew you could<br>
pause/snapshot/resume an instance, but i've never tried to resume a<br>
saved off snapshot, only restart one. if one could resume a snapshot<br>
and have the computation leave off exactly where it was paused, that<br>
might be nifty<br>
