There are a few nodes which accept only 3-hour jobs or shorter from most users (partition <code>contrib3h</code>). Consequently, jobs with a run time of 3 hours or less will often schedule much more quickly than other jobs. If you want an interactive job for testing purposes, we recommend <code>salloc --time=3:0:0</code> (or less). If you can arrange your production workflow to include 3-hour jobs, those may benefit from more rapid scheduling.
