On my rough mockup of the cnari application, it looks like this doesn't 
really have much effect when running 1000 jobs at the load I'm getting.

It might be interesting to try on falkon+gpfs on the BG/P at Argonne, 
where some of the worker node wrapper logs suggest that a bunch of time is 
being consumed by status file munging.
