unbalanced jobs

[Eyal Edri]

this is deceiving.
jenkins slave 04 actually has only 3 executors, so only 3 jobs in parallel can run on it.
but it can host as many "parent" jobs for matrix jobs as jenkins master assigns to him.
it doesn't mean it's running anything, it's just uses that slave as starting point before 
running all the configuration on other slaves, afaik the only thing done is git clone on that slave and that's all.

 ^ this is an example of a real job running a matrix job configuration

 ^ this is a parent job, just using a virtual slot on the slave, and not actually running anything.
