Thanks, I already had $pe_slots in my smp definition, so I guess it's already 
doing this more or less.  It still seems to be a little bit more random than 
I'd like, i.e. sometimes it starts them on empty hosts, sometimes it adds them 
to hosts that are running things but have enough free slots.

Just note, that it will work only for "allocation_rule $pe_slots" this way.
