By that, do you mean setting the # of mappers?

You definitely can run more than one job on a hadoop cluster. But if one of
the jobs asks to use all of the map or reduce nodes, then the other job will
have to wait for some of the nodes to free up before proceeding.
Try limiting the number of map nodes and see how that changes matters.
