Using the new slaves has a couple objectives:
1) Test the new OpenStack cloud
2) Increase redundancy (given the instability of our existing slave
the past few weeks)
3) Increase concurrency/capacity

We had 16 threads on a single slave before (down from 24) and that
single slave was struggling to cope when all those 16 threads were
actually busy.
The new slaves have 8 threads each and we lowered the amount of
threads on the original slave back to 10 so it isn't loaded (and isn't
crashing) as much.

So we're now at 34 threads total and I can indeed tell from our
consumption logging that the usage has increased and peaks higher than
before.
We'll scale down the threads to 24 total, can you tell us if you see
improvements ?

We're also waiting for the feature in Duffy that'll enable us to track
which node is associated with which job so we can hunt jobs that are
potentially not being very good citizens.
