Jacob,
  For me it is because only one of the alphas currently has AFS access (or
did when I checked the other day).  Since I have to recompile my code to
work on the alphas, it usually isn't worth it for just one more process;
hence, I preferrentially use the intel(ish) boxes.


Also, the new stats on the graphs for the summary page are nice.  The font
is a little small, and I am not sure how useful the min and max stats are,
but the current and avg stats are great.  thanks.
