I don't think we should change this, the point of all the tests is
to not limit the resources but use threads at least equal to
$(nproc), see recent patches from lenovo they have 448 cores,
limiting 32 is < 10% CPUs and that is really small number for
a large machine if we decide to run tests on that machine ...
