[Roger Brobst]

Perhaps startTime denotes the time when the job
was first started (on any host), and dispatchTime denotes
when the job was started on the current (or last) host ?

Good point, I think there is no difference. I will remove startTime  
and change the second submissionTime parameter to dispatchTime.
