Comment (by rrnewton):
By the way, I've had various hard-to-pin-down problems with changing
capabilities at runtime myself.
Is it possible in this case to just disable the use of that feature for
the initial release? That is, you would have to use +RTS -N to get real
speedup. But, hey, it's kind of an advanced compilation feature anyway.
In this scenario we could get a lot of testing experience with parallel
builds without setNumCapabilities and then combine them when there is
higher confidence.
