I guess looking at the CPU chart in this run explains it: https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5496170802839552 The first 75% of the job time was using less than 1 CPU. Only the last 3 minutes maxed out both CPUs. So adding more CPUS will only help the last bit of the job and even then we'll hit limits on amount of parallelism due to build dependancies. QEMU simply has much much more stuff needing building and is highly parallel when building, so saw a big benefit. So this affirms that we dont really need this patch.
