The only reason you would run Quill on every single node is if you
are keeping track of all the startd information in quill.  The more
common configuration is only to run on the nodes that have a schedd.
If you are keeping track of all daemon info in quill then you
need a huge database machine, there are some presentations in
condor weeks of 2007 and 2008 that describe just how big.
