While I like this parallelization option, and hope a version (could be even David's smtp_dummy change) of it could be available in notmuch repository as soon as possible, I would not like it being default -- just like make -J is not default... ... it being default, unsuspicious user running `make test` might have his multitasking maching eating too much resources for a particular purpose and slowing everything else. The simplest way to invoke parallelized tests could be make test-parallel and/or make test p=1 ...or NOTMUCH_TEST_PARALLELIZE make test. That's my opinion written out loud... vote me over if disagreed.. :D Tomi > --- > test/README | 8 ++++++-- > test/notmuch-test | 2 +- > 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/test/README b/test/README > index b378c3ff..3f54af58 100644 > --- a/test/README > +++ b/test/README > @@ -43,7 +43,6 @@ these system tools.
