HHVM uses PHP's test suite and runs them in parallel.  We upstreamed a
number of fixes for tests to make these behave properly (many tests
used common, generic filenames like "test.txt" which would clobber
over each other when run concurrently).  Would love to see PHP eat up
a few more cores too.
