It is set as 4 for nightly and 8 for weekly masscheck. I have 2 cores available in my virtual server. What if I change those to JOBS=2? Does something break? I see no point in running more than 2 simultaneous processes both with 100% CPU usage.
I'd do one job per core for nightly masscheck, but more for weekly. The reason you want more for weekly is because the bottleneck is the latency of network queries, not raw CPU and disk I/O.
