Improve Vagrant performance about trellis HOT 8 CLOSED

Yeah, I thought about setting the cpus before as well so a PR for this is welcome.

give VM 1/4 system memory & access to all cpu cores on the host

A bit conflicted about this. Especially if you are working with a team. I have a beefy computer:

So my box is going to be running 8 cores and 4gb of memory. I feel I would be developing and a completely different environment with completely different constraints than someone with a macbook air or some other less beefy laptop.

Then again production is cached anyway. What do you guys think?

Using all the cores you have is fairly standard. Although we may want to cap that 1/4 of memory at like 2GB. I do agree it's a little crazy to use 4GB of ram for a dev VM.

If anything, that section could be commented out or something. At the very least, NFS will improve performance dramatically. Or people can change the values to something more appropriate per project. Or perhaps have default config files they could import? I have a 13" mbp, so 1/4 mem and all cpus is a base DO box. I know while I'm cranking things out, I don't like waiting on my development machine. I'd prefer to have faster results and then tweak later. Thoughts?—

Capping at 2GB or even 1GB is reasonable. My sites barely reach 1GB of usage. Why not just set a cap at 1GB without doing the platform specific math? That is a fairly beefy linode/DO box and more memory isn't going to make a wordpress site only using 512mb faster. The NFS and CPU will be nice performance enhancers.

Also using 4GB of ram for a dev vm for me is a no-go because I usually have other VMs running such as modern.ie and friends that take their fair share.

I can get behind 1gb || 2gb cap. @swalkinshaw?

See #66

Decided to just hardcode it since it's way simpler. Anyone can customize now but at least the setting is there to see.
