But my argument was, and still is, if there is only one site to submit
to, changing situations are almost irrelevant, as there are no options
anyhow. Give me one example, where you have only 1 site, set X and Y
properly, yet you need site scores as an additional throttling
mechanism!<br>

throttling mechanisms could exist without computing site scores,
assuming the user knows what to set X and Y to.

They do exist, but they don't deal with asymmetries between sites. Nor
do they deal with changing situations.

<pre wrap="">Because having too many jobs on that one site may still cause problems.
That said, the algorithm currently there needs some work.

<pre wrap="">Of course you still want throttling, but that is more on the level
of X outstanding jobs at any given time (and possibly Y jobs/sec
submit rate), so you don't overrun the LRM, but you would not want to
lower X to some low value just because some jobs are failing. Again,
once you go to multi-site runs, you need the site scoring to decide
among the different sites, but with a single site, I see no drawbacks
to disabling the site scoring mechanism.

<pre wrap="">I know how to disable it. I don't particularly want it running rate free.
Whats happening here is that the feedback loop feeding back too much / too
fast for the situation I experience.
There's plenty of fun to be had experimenting there; and I suspect there
will be no One True Rate Controller.
