I *love* seeing heuristics where random selection is the "winning

up" first.

I was referring to making sure that each parallel process has about the same amount of work to do, and finishes at about the same time. Ordering by size won't do it unless you assign each worker process in round robin against the ordered set. Perhaps thats your plan.
