I tend to do

make clean test-clean doc-clean
CPU_COUNT=9 make -j9 && CPU_COUNT=9 make -j9 test && CPU_COUNT=9 make -j9 doc

without much of a problem.  It depends on what you mean by "first
time".  Han-Wen has just discovered that on a fresh container, TeX
builds the plain (and likely Texinfo) formats the first time it is run,
and parallel invocations of TeX cause the format files to be a mess.
But that's not really "first time per commit" but "first time per
installation".
