And thanks you for that last point, the testsuite used to beat the
compilation part on the timing scale, but now it's fast, especially on SSD
(even if there's a small gain even on HDs)
(elapsed 9:07.09 -> 8:31.92 on HD --> 0:33.65 on a (old) SSD)
We lost the test group names in the output but we can always find the
affected test thanks to its name.
So that's a _huge_ improvement!
Thanks again :-)
