 Rebundling the whole 8.0a10 release on build-sunet-a.torproject.net is
 taking ~ 12 hours.

 I think one part that is taking a lot of time is the creation of the
 mar/tar.xz/dmg/exe files of the bundles in all the languages, which is
 done sequentially, with the mar/tar/dmg/nsis tools probably using only one
 thread. We could probably make that part faster by generating multiple
 locales in parallel.
