Uhmmmm... That is very strange.

Under Solaris 10:

A lot of the disk traffic generated by the testsuite is "syncronous". By
default, under unix, the testsuite should be stored in "/tmp", that is
usually a ramdisk or something similar. That is the case under Solaris 10.

I don't know about MacOS.

I'm executing the testsuite under linux, with a /tmp backed by a proper
persistent FS (ReiserFS3). This machine is fairly busy, so the testsuite
actual time should be better:
