That is indeed the long-term plan, but there's still some work to be

2.7 GHz cores and 64 GB of RAM, that really isn't a bottleneck right
now. The main two problems right now are that the "jhbuild update"
stage takes some 5 minutes to update all the ~ 160 git trees, and
that jhbuild build doesn't parallelize at all, i. e. build modules
which don't depend on each other could build in parallel.

Could you perhaps do a test that does 10 git checkouts at once (real
ones, while things are updated and so on)? I think you might eventually
run into issues with the bandwidth between Red Hat NOC and Canonical
NOC.

If you see a bottleneck problem, please say so so that it can be worked
on at the same time as parallelizing jhbuild. E.g. there was a plan to
mirror git.gnome.org, but there are also a few GNOME servers @
Canonical that could be reused.
