Is there a way to limit the amount of parallel processes that run with pytest?

The global option --process-execution-local-parallelism controls parallel processes similar to the CPU thread count flags Stu added and you tested, but for process executions. That's of course general - we have no goal-specific knobs currently.

Not linkable, but you can search for that option in here: <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-global> or grep through `./pants help-advanced global`for that.

thx i see that one didnt know if there was a goal specific one or not.
