Love the idea of adding more parallelization. FWIW, I run the AdaCore
testsuite at -j24 on my 3.5 year old quad-core. I start getting
diminishing benefits after -j20, but even at -j24, the machine is
still completely responsive. When doing testing with gdbserver or Qemu,
I usually use -j16 to -j20 to avoid some spurious timeouts. So I think
there is still room for more parallelization if we want to.
