Would be nice to be able to set priority's on jobs though.  Something like;
     1.  Metadata lookup High priority - (Short job, runs before any 
comm flag jobs)
     2.  Commercial Flagging - Runs before any transcode jobs.
     3.  Transcode - Low Priority, Runs when no higher priority jobs 
(and possibly no recordings in the near future that will generate meta 
and comm flag jobs)
     4.  User Jobs.
