I feel as though this should be a rule - yes, certain tools and
programs will need more resources than others, but at the same time the
examples you're citing read to me as simply excessive.

Subject: [Toolserver-l] Fairness on the toolserver
Hello all,
the resources on the TS are free, but limited; so we all have to use the
resources fair. Some limits (like memory-usage) are set and controlled by the
system, but others are not and it is in the responsibility of every single
user to make sure to not mis- or overuse resources.
So it is for example NOT a good idea to run 200 processes in parallel to get
more CPU-resources than you would normally get. And it is not a good idea to
use a amount of memory which is just below the slayer-daemon-limit without any
purpose.
Sincerely,
DaB.
P.S: It is totally in the rules to disable a user-account because of resource-
misusing.
