Sure that would be useful, but it's pretty clear that the check stages
don't work in parallel.  It think it's because the ports conflict, but
there could be any number of other problems.

That said, it would be useful, in my mind, to support parallel checks.
But unless someone is going to put in the work first, you should
restrict your parallel runs to the build and install phases.
