A number of our smaller systems may not be able to handle running these 
tests concurrently regardless, so I think removing the concurrency is a 
good thing regardless of F/J changes.

So looks good to me.

This is because the tests are running concurrently and parallel stream execution in one process is competing for resources with parallel stream execution in another process. This was actually always the case, but the recent f/j changes appear to be more sensitive to OS scheduling effects on some platforms and there is not much we can do about that at the moment.
