Normally I'd agree. But it'll take longer to run the server and 
the tests themselves than it'll take to build anyway, so it 
really doesn't matter that much.

Now, if it were for _unit_ tests... hmm, speaking of which I 
should probably try and optimise that for unit-threaded. But that 
means profiling the compiler I guess.
