> The current parallel execution spawns one thread _per_class_
> When there is a large disparity between the number of tests in different
> classes, this can result in a longer execution time. This can often happen in
> GUI testing, where a couple of classes will contain a lot of long running
> (but low cpu) test cases, and the remaining classes run fast.
> See http://maven-junit-plugin.kenai.com/ for an attempt at solving this
