Yes. Both are running on the same machine (in my office). So far, it was
configured to only run one build at a time.

I think Buildbot allows to run multiple builds in parallel on a single slave.

I configured my box to allow two simultaneous builds. We will see if it can
handle the load (on of them runs --big tests, which can make quite a load on a
machine).

(I was planning to try this anyway after putting more memory into the box;
good that you reminded me).
