right?

Correct, our machine is not overburdened, so most batch jobs really wouldn't be improved by multi-processing. We do have some automated processes that go to mutliple processing queues or priorities.

We do have a special queue for Queries and that allows 2 jobs to run simultaneously, regardless of priority.
