[Swift-user] Question about walltime

[Mihael Hategan]

The walltime in sites.xml is used as a default if the app walltime is
not set in tc.data. So for the apps you list below, won't make a
difference.

Step by step, the walltime is set like this:
1. look in tc.data, and set if present.
2. if not in tc.data, look in sites.xml and set if present.
3. if in neither tc.data or sites.xml, use "00:10:00" (i.e. 10 minutes).
