[Nix-dev] Limiting number of Hydra jobs

Hi,

My Hydra runs or rather limited box, both memory and CPU wise so I'd
like to limit the number of jobs it runs. I have

  nix.maxJobs = 1;

set but Hydra does not seem to care: even right now it's running 4 jobs
at once (2 for i686 and 2 for x86). I have dealt with it for a longer
while but I am getting tired of unresponsive box for hours.

What setting should I set so that it will only ever run specified number
of total jobs?

Thanks
