NRWT creates the same number of workers regardless of how much RAM is installed. On RAM-limited machines (e.g., 12 cores, 3GB RAM), so many workers are created that the machine starts paging like crazy and all tests end up timing out.

It would be nice if NRWT were to take RAM into account when deciding how many workers to create.
