Is there a reaon why you can't parallelize your tests?  If you could
run 10 or so at a time it would be worth benchmarking.

Also, look into automating your testing, so that you don't need to run
the tests all the time, they run in the background, and if something
breaks they send you an alert with the code that broke things etc.
