Hi Jean-Michel, Patrick, and Ivana,

I just killed Ivana's tcsh process (see top output below) that was
taking up 99% cpu and making faulks nearly useless.  This should bring
the testing back.  Ivana, please be careful with faulks and eddy since
they are our daily testing machines and we rely on them for that
purpose.  Model runs or other CPU-intensive work does not belong on
either of them.

Also, I did a related thing on hugo and eddy -- I've scaled back the
number of times per day that the "R2" web pages get built so that they
don't consume so much CPU/IO on those machines.

Ed
