I don't think I would ever do anything to restrict that, but I'm also
not convinced that it would help the jdk building, which is so disk heavy.
The speed of the disk is everything to a jdk build, and distributed usually
means slower disk access.
Again, I'd never rule it out, but some little voice in my head is telling me
that it's not a CPU resource issue as much as a big disk bits dance. :^(
