On the 195 On day 001 submit the Pasc job with data {a,b,c,...} On day 008 submit the Pasc job with data {d,e,f,...} On day 015 .... with data {g,h,i,...) ....... and so on........ On day 091 get back the results for {a,b,c,...} On day 098 get back the results for {d,e,f,...} On day 105 get back the results for {g,h,i....} ........ and so on...... i.e. each job has three months turn around. But independant outputs can pop out one week, at a time, or however densely the independaant jobs are permitted to be submitted.

On the 145 On day 001 submit the job (A) with data {a,b,c,...} On day 007 submit job (B) with data {d,e,f,...} etc. But because job A only gets service during idle time, which it soaks up, job B doesn't get to run till A completes on day 030. Or else B competes with A and delays its completion past day 030 etc. So on the 195 the 5'th job submitted on day 1+4*7 = 029 would come back on day 91+28 = 119, while on the 145 the 5'th job would come back on day 151 (as long as it had been submitted before 121 :) ) .

The rest of what you wrote while informative and interesting does not explain how using the 145 could give the Pasc crew better service after the first several jobs. :)
