I see that Kirk made an update to the issue and wanted to follow up on the
Dev list for discussion.

I also ran a build on the open side with the dunit fork = 1. The total time
of the build was: 9 hrs 58 mins 33.662 secs. The last Geode build took: 6
hr 21 min <https://builds.apache.org/job/Geode-nightly/buildTimeTrend>.
It is an increase of about 3.5 hours, which matches the increase in time
that Kirk had.

The question becomes: Do we want to make the change so we can increase the
quality of tests by isolating each one at the cost of increasing the total
build time?

My thoughts would be to make the change to weed out the 'bad' tests and
increase the overall quality of the tests, so when a test fails there is no
questioning the result. Once we have them passing more consistently, then
we can increase the fork count again.

Thoughts?
