The counts Barry is referring to there are actually counting test
*files*, rather than individual tests. We only have 359 of those in
total though (not counting those in subdirectories), so a "quicktest"
that omits less than 6% of them doesn't sound particularly quick (even
if it does leave out the slowest ones).

We should probably do another pass and add a few more tests to the
blacklist in the Makefile template (starting with
test_concurrent_futures).

Cheers,
Nick.
