We upgraded the Mono/.NET framework in Toolforge/GridEngine from the 3.x
version to 5.x [0].

We discovered that some tweaking is required due to some weird behavior
regarding memory allocation by the framework [1].
The first symptom you will see is your boot doing high CPU load (spins).

The fix is easy, just telling Mono that more memory is available when
running the tool/bot. But you require to cancel your job submissions and
resend. Please refer to the phabricator bug [1] for more details.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
