Queue management for e_small and 15e queues

[RichD]

Can we get a separate thread for e_small and 15e for 2022? Reservations and results are already split (last year).

I like idea but let’s see what others think of it.

Whatever way we go, I would suggest a bump in sieving Q range guidelines for 15e_small. Currently it’s a maximum range of 170M, more than that and the rules say the factorization belongs on 15e. I keep finding borderline cases of SNFS ~260 that sieve nicely as 31-bit jobs that seem a good fit on the lesser siever but require 175-180MQ to build the matrix. I suggest the guideline be updated to reflect this.

Ranges beyond 180MQ are honestly better as 32-bit jobs and belong on the 15e siever IMO.
