I just came up with a query to get the worker classes of the currently waiting jobs:

openqa=> select waiting.wc, count(*) from (select string_agg(js.value, ',' order by js.value) as wc from jobs j join job_settings js on j.id=js.job_id where j.state = 'scheduled' and js.key='WORKER_CLASS' and j.t_created < '2023-09-12 10:00:00' group by j.id ) as waiting group by waiting.wc order by count(*) desc limit 20;                                                                      
                 wc                 | count

(20 rows)

Looking for jobs older than 3 days ago, there is even a more clear picture:

openqa=> select waiting.wc, count(*) from (select string_agg(js.value, ',' order by js.value) as wc from jobs j join job_settings js on j.id=js.job_id where j.state = 'scheduled' and js.key='WORKER_CLASS' and j.t_created < '2023-09-09 10:00:00' group by j.id ) as waiting group by waiting.wc order by count(*) desc limit 10;                                                                      
                 wc                 | count 
------------------------------------+-------

 qemu_x86_64,tap,worker31           |     3

edit: sorted the string_agg additionally to not get multiple entries for the same combination of worker classes

Looking at qemu_ppc64le specifically, I investigated how many of those jobs are investigation jobs:

openqa=> select count(*) as wc from jobs j join job_settings js on j.id=js.job_id where j.state = 'scheduled' and js.key='WORKER_CLASS' and js.value='qemu_ppc64le' and j.t_created < '2023-09-12 10:00:00' and test like '%:investigate:retry%' ;

Current worker class statistics:

Regarding qemu_ppc64le:
We currently only have one worker: powerqaworker-qam-1
malbec hasn't accepted jobs for the last 7 hours, but it's listed as idle.

spvm_ppc64le: No workers at all

checked again, jobs are worked on slowly but the numbers go down. Biggest "problem" seems to be "qemu_ppc64le" where the numbers rather go up again:

 qemu_x86_64,tap,worker37          |    46

qemu_x86_64,tap is a situation we might be able to improve if we get some more MM machines up and running

As expected all of the oldest jobs on OSD are currently ppc-based. Some of them have very specific worker-classes which are partly only available on single machines which are currently offline. I canceled everything which would not run anyway.
Looking at https://monitor.qa.suse.de/d/nRDab3Jiz/openqa-jobs-test?orgId=1&from=now-7d&to=now&viewPanel=12 all peaks per architecture get worked on in the same rate so it is safe to assume that available resources are used as much as possible (drop of rate is e.g. clearly visible for ppc64).
Also realized that we get a lot of new jobs by openqa-investigate. Asked in slack (https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02AJ1E568M/p1694624128367029) if we can and should disable it for the time being.

I looked today in the morning. One case I found is

openqa=> select count(jobs.id) from jobs join job_settings on jobs.id = job_settings.job_id where state='scheduled' and key='WORKER_CLASS' and value='s390-kvm-sle12';
 count 
-------
   494

I already proposed to move to the generic "s390-kvm" class. For this we have #127523
