Job sequence taking longer than the individual jobs

i am running a job sequence which contains 4 jobs. after every job successfully runs it is taking exactly 8 mins to initialize the next job. that means it is taking exactly 32 mins to run all the jobs in the sequence. whenever i am running individual jobs it is taking only 40-50 secs to run a job. But in the job sequence why it is taking that much time to run the four jobs.

Get row counts had a similar issue. You need to run jobs either in job control code or using a routine and take out the WaitForJob(). That way the follow up jobs run in the background.

Moved thread and renamed subject to something more meaningful.

Me, I'd be curious what exactly "8 mins to initialize the next job" means and why that would be happening.
