Spawn the given number of processes to run tests in. This defaults to 0 to run
tests serially within a single process. Using a number greater than one allows
multiple tests to run in parallel, speeding up a test run. The optimum number
is dependent on the system and set of tests to run, but 7 times number of CPU
cores is a good figure to start with, or 1.3 times number of CPU cores if
Valgrind is in use. Enabling parallel tests is not recommended in conjunction
with the -g option.
