Hi Stefano, I don't understand why you're using mixed priorities to begin with as these have nothing to do with how fast or slow a job runs. You can simply run all jobs at the same priority and a slow job of a different priority won't hog your scheduling slots at all. Depending on your hardware it's usually safe to up the number of concurrent jobs. We generally use 8-16 concurrent jobs on our bacula directors.
