caller does not need to pass a number of CPUs. This function can
simply do:
local nr_cpus=$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_CONF)
And that will set concurrency to be "optimal" for the number of CPUs
in the machine the test is going to run on. That way tests don't
need to hard code some number that is going to be too large for
small systems and to small for large systems...
