-      in our yetus personality where we set the maven -T command to 0.25C too.
-      For example, to run at a rate that is more furious than our 0.25C, do
-      something like this:
-         f="0.5C" ;  mvn -T$f -Dsurefire.firstPartForkCount=$f -Dsurefire.secondPartForkCount=$f test -PrunAllTests

+      more furious than our 0.5C, do something like this:
+         f="0.75C" ;  mvn -Dsurefire.firstPartForkCount=$f -Dsurefire.secondPartForkCount=$f test -PrunAllTests
+      Note, tests seem to crash or fail nonsensically if the fork count is set too
+      high. On high-CPU boxes, a fork count of 1.0 doesn't always 'work'.
