Previous run had this set to 10 seconds. The logs confirm that this was 
the clustering period: the cluster size=4 message came out every 10 seconds.

I set cluster max time to 1200 with a maxwalltime of 60 seconds.

I will fiddle with this part with smaller runs till it works.

Likely I have a config issue somewhere, or theres a bug.
