Re: [HTCondor-users] condor_q shows a huge SIZE and condor job completetime is longer than expected

No idea but if your local machine has enough RAM and your condor node 
does not, the condor job will swap. Swapping to hard drive will 
drastically increase the runtime.

Note that in some cases linux kernel will lie about memory usage. We 
have where we explicitly request memory > 0 just to override condor's 
autoguesstimated requirement. Because we know condor in that instance is 
wrong and all nodes that will run those jobs have enough RAM to do so.
