[Clusterusers] Errors on fly

[Piper Odegard]

Hi Tom--can you ease up on your farm usage for the next week? Two of us
are trying to render out our div 3 projects, for a show this Friday
and then other screenings next week. It's a pretty hideous time crunch
for us to get rendered by deadline.

Thanks,
- Piper

We could play with minimum free memory required to take new jobs.... how much RAM do you think is necessary? Right now it's set to 1GB. Maybe I should try changing it to 2GB or 4GB?
