I plan to create one device per client.

As pointed out offline, attribute spooling can be important for parallel (i.e. 
concurrent) jobs.  The theory being: database access while writing files slows 
down both processes.

In my case, the database server is on another machine.

I'm not sure I want interleaving.

Everything has the same retention period.
