I've been thinking a bit about something like this too - my combined 
fe/be is not really powerful enough for commflagging/transcoding during 
the day when its being used so I have a job queue window of 5:00am-2pm 
(least use around my house).

However, I also have a user job that runs an iPod transcoding job (very 
high nice value so it doesn't interfer with the fe playing) and dumps 
the result into a directory which is podcasted to iTunes. These 
transcoding jobs I want to run immediately, regardless of the job 
window, but at the moment I just need to wait until the next day after 
the jobs have been run.

So yes, I think multiple job queues would be a great idea. Can anyone 
think of a downside (besides more complicated user setup, but the 
default could be the way it is now, and only more advanced users could 
configure extra queues)?
