Description

As per recent "Speeding up the test builds" discussion on the dev mailing.

I'm proposing to half the memory allocated for running unit tests (as defined per <test.unit.pattern>**/Test.</test.unit.pattern> property) but at the same time double the forkCounts for those tests. The premise is that they shouldn't need as much memory as ITCases to be stable, while increasing number of forks, should provide us with a couple of minutes improved build times.
