Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #791

initial	v1
1	1	Plug-ins should be better in estimating the expected execution time. This is needed for better utilization of the job slots. Too many of the core plug-ins has a SHORT time estimate.
	2
	3	We probably need support functions in the core for this. For example based on the total file size of the files a plug-in is going to process and/or the total number of spots / number of queries, etc. an index number can be created. The plug-in should give scaling factors (log, linear, log * linear, quadratic, etc) and cooefficients. It may also have to tell if it does most of it's work by doing SQL on the database or in the program code.
	4
	5	The server admin should provide configuration settings (in base.config) that depends on the hardware/performance of the server. Based on this an index is calculated with a range from 1-100, which is divided into 4 (or more??) slots.
