Yes. The intuition is that we don't want to overcommit virtual CPUs
since then you are stressing the schedulers more.
I ran some tests with 2 vCPUs and all the numbers are a bit higher (as
having two CPUs tackling a compile is faster).
Although overcommit (of CPUs and memory ;) is interesting, we leave a
CPU dedicated to the host system (linux/dom0)
on purpose.
