I’m using Jenkins with the ansible plugin.

[https://plugins.jenkins.io/ansible](https://plugins.jenkins.io/ansible)

I’m trying to figure out why an ansible project run in Jenkins on 20 hosts is slower than running ansible on the command line.

I tried the increasing the “Number of parallel processes” but the Jenkins node seems to run the tasks sequentially.

Any help appreciated.
