Current `vmTestbase_nsk_sysdict` suite contains about 20 tests, each running exclusively. There seem to be no reason to run them exclusively, though: they complete in reasonable time, are single-threaded, and consume the usual amount of memory.
We should consider enabling parallelism for them and get improved test performance. Currently it is blocked by `TEST.properties` with `exclusiveAccess.dirs` directives in them.
Motivational performance improvements below.
