Dear SLURM,

We have a user who has thousands of jobs submitted, each one of those jobs will 
only run for about 30 seconds consistently. Given the following backfill 
parameters I was hoping I would be able to backfill significant of these 
waiting jobs. I do have quite a number of nodes idle but only about 100 jobs 
are scheduled for the user every minute. Would anybody have an idea as to how 
one can debug what is going on with the scheduler?

One message I see often in the scheduler log is: sched: loop taking too long, 
breaking out
I am not sure if this has anything to do with backfill, but wanted to point out.

Please advise,
Regards,
Amit
