Hello Christopher,

> Isn't this what bf_continue is for?
Not really: bf_continue just lets the bf scheduler continue at the same
position where it was interrupted (e.g. for job submissions). So it does
not consider the new jobs but crawls down first. (These interrupts are
controlled by bf_yield_interval and bf_yield_sleep.)

Once bf_interval is reached the bf scheduler starts at the top:
"The backfill scheduler will start over after reaching this time limit
(including time spent sleeping), even if the maximum job counts have not
been reached."
