Maybe it won't matter, but the question is what one is looking for when 
one patch set is in and the other is not.  One choice is that one gets 
bad tests results... but at least they'll be faster.  The other choice 
is that the test results will still be as slow as before, but at least 
they'll be meaningful.  I vote for the latter.  (I guess the other 
question is what platform one is talking about...)  Anyhow, I vote for 
correctness before speed, but maybe we'll only test all patches at once.
