It is not a foregone conclusion that combining two jobs into one is less effort - that depends on how well the two jobs merge. Your comments remind me a little bit of the reassurance that one hear's from a CEO justifying big merger. Sometimes there's enough synergy to pay for the merger, sometimes not. The devil is in the details. The devil really is in the details. Since there is nothing further I have to contribute to these details, I will return to my regularly scheduled cpuset programming.
