Hi folks, so I have been looking into this issue for a while now, and it seems everything I read and everyone I talk to seems to indicate that if you run multiple projects on a host, there is NO way to run them sequentially? That is for example process Project A for 5 minutes, switch to project B for 5 minutes, switch to Project C, etc.

Currently on my CPU (4c/8t) it is processing 3 different WU/tasks from 3 different projects at the same time. This can't be good for efficiency inside the cpu? Wouldn't it be far better to process only 1 type of task/wu exclusively and then switch to the next?

Are there any plans to ever implement this type of task scheduling? Thanks!
