+concurrent_jobs
+===============
+Default: 4
+
+This is the number of concurrent jobs the indiviudal job manager should execute
+at a time. If you are using the multiprocess or threading model this number
+becomes important as you will want to control the load on your server. If the
+load equals the number of cores on the server, processes will begin waiting for
+cpu cycles and things will begin to slow down.
+
+A safe number to choose if your jobs block a lot would be (2 * cores). If your
+jobs are cpu intensive you will want to set this number to the number of cores
+you have or (cores - 1) to leave cycles for the os and other processes. This is
+something that will have to be tuned based on the jobs that are
+running. Grouping similar jobs in named queues will help you tune this number.
+
+queues
+======
+Default: (10, default)
+
+Semi-colon seperated list of queues to process jobs for with thier
+weights. Example: ``queues=(10, data_process); (15, email)``.  With these
+weights and the ``CONCURRENT_JOBS`` setting, you should be able to tune managers
+running jobs locally pretty efficiently. If you have a larger box with a weight
+of 50 on q1 and 8 concurrent jobs and a smaller box with a weight 30 and 4
+concurrent jobs, the q1 jobs will be sent to the large box until it is no longer
+accepting jobs. At this point jobs will start to be sent to the next highest
+number until the large box is ready to accept another q1 job.
+
+.. note::
+
+   It is recommended that you have some workers listening for jobs on your
+   default queue so that anything that is not explicitly assigned will still be
+   run.
