That would be interesting, although I was thinking we might want to do a
fewer number of CPUs on the first build, to make it more likely the
second build doesn't timeout.

e.g. If your first build is with 4 CPUs (from one of the quad-cores),
and your second builds with 1 CPU (a dual-core), you're more likely to
reach the timeout limit on the second build...

So combining the two ideas, I guess I would propose CPUs for first
build, and CPUs+1 for the second build?
