MaxWallTime is the estimate/ceiling you provide Swift for your app
tasks for this site.<br>
<br>
I think that if you don't specify a MaxTime (which puts an upper
bound on the wall time of the scheduler jobs which Swift/coasters
will submit) then Swift uses what's in its ready-to-run task queue
to determine the scheduler job walltime.<br>
<br>
If you want shorter jobs (e.g. to not wait so long in the queue)
then you should un-comment your maxtime tag in the sites entry and
set it to what you want to see. Be aware that you need to consider
what your likely app task time will really be as you try to balance
these two time limits.<br>
