I'll be also interested to see this > Incidentally, why -j4 and not -j2 or -j8? One reason (for me) is that we have 3 sets of tests + 1 network test, which adds up to 4 things that can sensibly be run in parallel. Anything more would be overkill (?). I want to make sure the network test is kicked off in the beginning because it involves a lot of waiting around. I assume it is ok for me to push this patch, because we are really just going back to how we've been doing things for a while... -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
