You might also consider configuring your cluster to have lax preemption 
requirements but a long MaxJobRetirementTime, like:

PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS = (((CurrentTime - EnteredCurrentState) > (1 * 
(10 * 60)) && RemoteUserPrio > SubmittorPrio * 1.2))

but

MaxJobRetirementTime=(60*60*72)

In this case, jobs would get preempted but not replaced unless they were 
running more than 3 days.
