Description

We have numerous [unit test/memory tests] projects that take too long to play... Here is a short list:

[INFO] Apache James :: Mailbox :: API ..................... SUCCESS [ 27.538 s]
[INFO] Apache James :: Mailbox :: Backup .................. SUCCESS [  9.704 s]

[INFO] Apache James :: Server :: Web Admin :: mailbox ..... SUCCESS [ 27.755 s]

On these projects, significant test time reduction can be noticed when increasing forkCount and reusing forks, without harm.
