The system I wrote was way overkill too; in most cases, a group of
experts manually tweaking the schedule will do better, especially when
the number of possible talk overlaps is small. [It's a solution which
would shine if you had a dozen tracks, and wanted to optimize audience
happiness... but with 2-4 tracks, it's lots of computing for not much
gain.]
