Perhaps some buildbots are doing other useful tasks, in addition to
simply building Python. This should probably be a case by case setting.
I don't know how easy it is to add specific options to a buildslave.
One small issue would be that, currently, when a buildbot hangs, you
know which test it is hung in since it's the last one displayed.
This isn't true with -j (but perhaps we can improve the runner to fix
this).
Regards
Antoine.
