1.
Select Window > Preferences... from the menu.

Under Scheduling, select Weaver Engine.
3.
Set the Parallel speed units per job for medium and large Print jobs. Small jobs get one
speed unit. You cannot assign more speed units than what you have available according
to your licence.
Note
Keep in mind that when there aren't enough speed units available at the moment a
job comes in, the job will have to wait.

jobs are usually small.
Secondly, HTML jobs need to be handled as soon as possible, particularly if a request was
made over the internet; you don't want those jobs to be kept waiting until the required number of
speed units becomes available.
Email output doesn't benefit much from speed units, because most time is spent on
communicating with an external SMTP server.
Dividing processing power over jobs
There is a number of ways in which you can divide processing power over output operations of
a certain kind and/or size.

By reserving Merge engines for jobs of a certain kind (and size, in the case of a Print
job). Note that reserved engines cannot be used by any other type of job. This means
there will be fewer engines to handle other jobs. Consequently, the other jobs may take
more time and may have to wait (or wait longer). However, if the server receives many
web requests then having engines reserved for HTML output can help performance.
