Description

Parent issue is about upping forkcount. This one is about mildly letting modules run tests in parallel. Parent wants forkcount to be 0.5C so we use half the processors. This is about keeping forkcount at 0.25C but allowing two modules to run their tests at same time when mvn figures it is possible.

In a test on a local machine, using forkcount of 1.0C and -T == 1 – default – the full test suite took 1hr 15mins. With forkcount at 0.5 and T == 2, full suite took 53mins.
