#6 Upper limit of ~6k jobs per task (or ~4.5MB message size)

[Keith Flanagan]

When adding a task consisting of somewhere between 6-10k jobs, the server crashes. The total task description message size was 4.5MB, so it's possible this limit will be lower if your job descriptions are large.

There are 2 possible places that might have caused the excessive memory use:
1) XFire message processing
2) JobServer message parsing

Possible solutions:
- increase Java heap size
- investigate gzipping the task description message
