Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1709:
--------------------------------------------
Actually I see decent gains from concurrency: when I run tests with 6
threads my tests run a little over 3X faster (12:59 with 1 thread and
4:15 with 6 threads).
I'm using a Python script that launches the threads, each specifying
-Dtestpackage to run a certain subset of Lucene's tests.
This is on an OpenSolaris (2009.06) machine, with a Core i7 920 CPU
(= 8 cores presented to the OS) and an Intel X25M SSD, 12 GB RAM. The
hardware has quite a bit of concurrency.

> I'd love to see a clean solution here (the tests are embarrassingly
> parallelizable, and we all have machines with good concurrency these
> days)... I have a rather hacked up solution now, that uses
> "-Dtestpackage=XXX" to split the tests up.
> Ideally I would be able to say "use N threads" and it'd do the right
> thing... like the -j flag to make.
