 Configuring parallelism
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-With resource-heavy background jobs that run for longer than a few minutes, be they ``QueuedJob`` and ``TimedJob`` instances, you may want to restrict parallelism to prevent multiple such jobs from clogging up your machine's resources. You can do this with the ``setAllowParallelRuns`` method of ``OCP\BackgroundJob\Job`` (``QueuedJob`` and ``TimedJob`` both inherit from this class, so they also have this available).
