I'm not against fixing this issue, but basically deciding for users that they can spawn 16 extra parallel jobs really sounds wrong to me. This has lead me a few times to an unresponsive system since I had other heavy tasks running in parallel.

Just recording what we discussed as a potential direction: have a Lit test format that allows generating arbitrary Lit tests (e.g. it generates JSON or Pickled `Lit.Test` objects) and adds it to the test suite. Maybe this needs to be hooked into `getTestsInDirectory`?
