You want at the minimum "python -m test -j3", I think (many tests don't
really use the CPU).
Your Windows instructions could be improved a bit:
- not "the project files from the PCbuild" directory, but
"PCbuild/pcbuild.sln" (there are many project files)
- not "python.exe", but "PCbuild\python_d.exe"
