I don't really care about the buildbots, but I care about CI turnaround. A Travis-CI test run takes 24 minutes. Assuming it uses 4 cores and those 4 tests take more than 6 minutes each, that means we could almost shave 6 minutes (25%) on the duration of the Travis-CI test run.

And if, as it is likely, Travis-CI only exposes 2 CPU cores, we could actually shave 12 minutes off of each 24 minute CI run...

Antoine.
