With Xvfb and Xephyr+llvmpipe running in parallel, my load average
barely touches 2. So yes, we should do that; even if we're not totally
saturated for CPU time, the tests are always going to be serial as long
as we insist on testing unredirected window drawing, so we may as well
have a few more runnable tasks than CPUs.
