Move position of "parallel" test in test/runtests.jl #5596

Closed

Description

The parallel test script requires the availability of other processes for its completion.

What is now happening now is that the parallel test script starts somewhere in the middle of the test suite and finishes last as it is waiting for free workers.

I propose we either

  1. Move to the end of the list, so that all workers are available when it executes

or

  1. Move it to the beginning of the list, but start an additional worker process. This would ensure that all the cores in the machine are used since the worker running parallel tests would spend most of its time waiting.

Thoughts?
