In order to submit to the dashboards for subproject organization, the
"serial" building of the modules is necessary. You can still specify the
parallel flags for building and testing, but it will be applied within each
module, not across modules.

I would be interested in seeing the timing differences compared to the
monolithic version actually. I'll be surprised if it's very significantly
different. I bet we could come up with some queries to dig up timing data on
the ones we've already converted over.

The submission queue on cdash.org/CDash is backed up at the moment. They'll
show up eventually when the processing code catches up with the backlog.

Maybe. But I don't think so. The script they run comes from the CDash
server, and we should be able to adjust that once server side to make all
CDash at home clients start submitting as modular without asking the clients
themselves to make any changes. (Thanks for asking about this one.... I had
forgotten that we needed an adjustment to this.)
