Description

verify-release-candidate.bat uses the following command to run the C++ tests:

ctest -VV

This has two problems:

• output is verbose even for successful tests, making it difficult to find errors in the log
• tests are run serially even on a many-core machine

I would suggest instead something like:

ctest -jN --output-on-failure

(where N is the available number of hardware threads / CPU cores)
