1986407 - Stop limitting to 2 xpcshell tests running at once on Windows

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: XPCShell Harness, task)

Description

[Florian Quèze [:florian]]

These limits were added in bug 1639850 and bug 1816943 (to support Win7 on azure).

I think this was primarily because of OOM crashes, that we most likely don't see anymore on the current CI workers that have 64GB of ram.

At https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D133119#inline-732378 there's a comment indicating that when a test fails in parallel with a crash, we don't re-run it sequentially. That was likely the reason for limiting the number of threads.
