I admit I know minimal about how builds are handled.  When I submit a
build (which, I don't do lots of builds), the top-level task quite often
seems to be on an s390x host (and ppc64le when it's not)... maybe that
part uses minimal resources, but it's still there.  SRPM build is often
on ppc64le.

And yes, if the hardware is getting overloaded, reducing simultaneous
resource usage can improve throughput, because you reduce thrashing.  I
obviously have no idea if that's the case here, but a blanket "doing
less slows things down" is not true.
