I'm dumping the stdin to a file and then running it through condor_q -jobads with an -af:lng and a list of all the attributes it found.

Hi Michael,

I know this is not answering your question (I am not Mr. Job Info Hook), 
but I can tell you that there is practically no overhead involved in 
doing a condor_chirp set_job_attr_delayed command.  In other words, if 
you can chirp with set_job_attr_delayed instead of set_job_attr, I 
wouldn't worry optimizing to avoid re-chirping things that have not 
changed.

Hope the above helps
Todd
