It doesn't have to. The gain is that we don't then end up conflicting
with the buildfarm on when we run. Unlike the old server, we try to
avoid running too many concurrent builds because it might kill other
services on the same box - which happened quite frequently on the old
one. In fact, it happened so frequently on the old one that people
stopped caring...

We also get the buildfarms functionality for collecting logs and
reporting them. Just some more we don't have to build a new set of
scripts for.
