I can't reproduce after stopping the buildbots, delete all its data
and restart them. Now I see quite a few python processes running, but
memory usage is reasonable.

So, the memory used should be quite low, then :-).

I have committed a few patches in the last hours to get my buildbots
"green", back again. The memory used was <500MB, compared with >4GB
before the "-j".

Could you reconfigure my buildbots to be able to run all the six (2.7,
3.2, 3.x, in 32 and 64 bits) instances at the same time, again?. I
have enough resources now. I really sorry to waste your time...

Thanks!!!!!.
