copy_to_spool = <True | False> 
If copy_to_spool is set to True, then condor_ submit will copy the
executable to the local spool directory before running it on a remote
host. Oftentimes this can be quite time consuming and unnecessary. By
setting it to False, condor_ submit will skip this step. Defaults to
True.

Hope that helps
