Description
On the landing page, we recommend running: ./python -m test -j3
Since most systems now are multicore, we should consider recommending: ./python -m test -j0 Tests on my machine several minutes faster. We could continue to recommend ./python -m test -j3 for folks using older or single-core machines.
