While long running jobs are often canidates for improvement I do not
see hoow you can just assume that becasue a job runs for 36 hours that
there is a design problem. I have seen tasks that ran close to the
theoretical hardware performance limit for performing the work that ran
more than 12 hours. Sometimes you just have that much data to process.
You could argue whether the work needs to be done, but without knowing
the process or the requirements for the task I do not see how you can
make an intelligent determination based on run time alone.
