Not sure that would work too well. It's not like jobs go to the queue 
and sit there. As soon as a backend is available to process it, it 
starts up the job. The only case where this would be useful is when you 
have multiple recordings starting all at the same time, no other active 
jobs, and all jobs get added before the next time the queue is queried 
for jobs to process.

What would be nice is two (or more?) job queues that have independent 
start/end times. JobQueue1 runs 00:00-23:59 and JobQueue2 runs 
03:00-06:00. Crap I don't care about goes to JobQueue2 and stuff I want 
to start ASAP goes to JobQueue1. Probably pretty easy to implement this 
way, too.
