Problem: Internal job history lists are sorted with larger t_submit values at the front of the list. When new jobs are inserted (i.e. jobs with bigger t_submit values), they are inserted with a search starting at the back of the list. This is the opposite of what should be done and leads to a slowdown in job throughput over time.
Insert into the job history list starting at the front.
