Yeah, I generally agree with this. Blind parallelism improvements should not be done, and we should only allow the stress tests that are not heavy on resources to run in parallel. The tests affected in this PR seem to be rather short, effectively single-threaded, and memory-dense tests, so they seem to qualify for this kind of relaxation. I'll wait for Misha to respond.
