That does seem to be a more fruitful avenue for improvement.

I'm also doing more investigation into exactly why certain tests are much
slower for me than for other people.  The main culprit appears to be the fact
that my $HOME is on an ecryptfs, so some performance hit is expected.  But 600
to 25000 times slower?  Hmm...

Also, something seems to be not working quite right with regrtest's cd'ing to
/tmp.  When I build and run the tests out of /tmp (i.e. a non-ecryptfs) with
-j100 it completes in under 3 minutes.  Hopefully I can investigate more later
today.
