Yeah, last time we discussed this on HipChat, I have all the useful
pointers. The code changes to the official plugin would be minimal. The
only thing I'm worried about is how we would maintain this plugin.

How would they solve the issue?

Would that help? I.e. are the machines we start powerful enough to run
several jobs in parallel?

I suspect, it wouldn't change the issue, just change the numbers of servers
we would need (which might be good anyway but is not related to the issue
at hand).
