 I've got a builder with multiple Linux slaves attached; it doesn't really
 matter which one runs the task.

 Usually.  Turns out some jerk is running MatLab on one of my slaves, and
 the load average is at a consistent 18, about 2x the number of processors
 available, not to mention it's eating more memory than alzheimer's.  In
 this case, I'd really like buildbot to notice and not run tasks on the
 machine unless it was really the only machine that could do the job.

 I'm not sure this needs to be all that exact.  Perhaps the keepalives
 could be extended to forward along load averages as well.  That would be
 more than often enough to workaround my current problem.
