For the regular build farm work the total speedup will probably be 
negligible, as most of it can be easily kept busy anyway (IMHO, at the 
moment). Currently I don't see much benefit there (perhaps if we wanted 
really fast security updates in far future...).

Otherwise, for testing builds it seems desirable to parallelize as much 
as possible.
