Too high resource consumption during tests

[Thorsten Glaser]

I am rather not amused that the system load during tests,
on an 8-core system with 24 GiB RAM, is constantly in the
double digits, swapping crazily, unusable interactively,
sometimes in very high double digits, and it OOM-killed
a VM (which, okay, was taking 3 GiB RAM, but still). This
is going on for multiple hours.

I admit that debian/rules is passing --with-num-cores=8
to configure (it probably should be 4, due to HT), but
still, this feels ridiculous. (Also not sure if this is
even used for testing, considering the high number of
threads around…)

I also noticed that tests that are problemlisted as should
not even be run are, in fact, run (6929067 for example).
