The Falkon provider already does bunching of multiple tasks in a single
WS call, as long as they are in the provider queue at the time when it
checks the queue, which it does every second... this polling interval
can be changed to be higher, if you are finding that only a few tasks
get submitted every time. Or we can make it threshold based as well,
wait X seconds, or Y tasks... it wouldn't be hard to implement
different strategies to wait for more tasks...<br>

Do you mean in one single job submission call? Swift will send the tasks
separately to the provider layer (which probably in your case is
provider-deef), so no. How the provider-layer gets tasks to the execution
site is up to the provider - so potentially yes there. It might involve
changing the falkon wire protocol though.
