 Review comment:
   1. The terasort tests are *also* MR jobs; I consider the comment to be 
correctly placed. Sorry.
   2. The issue isn't that the minicluster uses lots of ram, it is that we span 
multiple processes as part of the job (this is good) and together they use up 
all your ram. If on a parallel test run >1 MR test suite is run at the same 
time, your machine pages out the VM, processes pause, tests timeout, my video 
on conf calls breaks up etc. Doing it sequentially ensures that the machine 
stays usable during a test run of, say, threads=8
