Using cpu-heavy jobs using concurrent tasks will block each other. It might be better to have some control of the process priority so one task is higher than the others. And upon completion one of the remaining tasks gets that priority. Affinity settings might be a nice option too in general.

Hey Ben,
If a job is CPU-heavy, it’s probably not the best candidate for concurrent tasks. As an alternative to changing process priority or affinity, can you control the render thread count for the software that you are rendering with? If you limit the thread usage to one or two threads, that should help reduce the CPU competition.
