Comment:

 Yes, I know it's used for testing.  Whether or not tests are run in
 parallel is
 not under your control as the author of the library and its tests.  A
 tester may
 run bjam with -jN and several tests will run simultaneously, and that may
 be a
 feature of the testing system or simply how the tester configures the test
 machine.  The ability to exploit all the resources of the testing machines
 is
 extremely important to reducing our test turnaround time.
