 Hi!

 In a heterogenous cluster, when only a few tasks are left, it often
 happens that most of the nodes are idle and wait for one or two nodes
 before the full job is done. This can get annoying if a very slow machine
 manages to receive the last task.

 It would be great if the scheduler could be switched to a more aggressive
 setting, i.e. whenever it runs out of "fresh" tasks it would send out
 tasks which are already in progress to idle nodes. Whoever finishes the
 job first wins and all other nodes processing the same task are
 interrupted.
