FYI,
I made the below tweaks to how KVMs are built. It also should
automatically update (...), and building should be faster overall.
If you're not already setting KVM_WORKERS in Makefile.inc.local,
there's now another incentive - the heuristic is #cores/2.

kvm: use KVM_WORKERS as heuristic for beefing up build machine
(KVM_WORKERS defaults to 1)
Memory: change 2048 to
1024+2*512*$(KVM_WORKERS)
(a test requires 2*512mb VMs * $(KVM_WORKERS))
CPU: change 2 to
$(KVM_WORKERS)
which means the default is 1 (the heuristic is #cores/2 so
that assumed a 4-core machine).
Make: use the #CPUs+1 heuristic vis:
-j $(KVM_WORKERS)+1
