I understand that. The entry for this macro in the manual (p. 251 in manual 8.5.7) should say that.

ÂThe upside of this is that the negotiator can then choose breadth first or depth first without any effect negotiation efficiency.Â

But the negotiator is also doing more work, so the overall negotiation cycle takes longer.ÂÂ

I think you mean scheduler efficiency?

Can you explain what, exactly, it is that CLAIM_PARTITIONABLE_LEFTOVERS is doing? How do the leftovers rank compared to other matches?
