[PATCH 0/3] Enable parallelized tests

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date: Aug 8, 2008, 05:59 UTC
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.1.00.0808080752210.9611@pacific.mpi-cbg.de.mpi-cbg.de>

This patch pair enables parallel tests.  On a pretty beefy machine,

	$ /usr/bin/time make -j50

shows this:

	69.33user 92.33system 0:59.26elapsed 272%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
	0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+33007360minor)pagefaults 0swaps

vs.

	$ /usr/bin/time make

showing this:

	61.25user 75.10system 3:57.68elapsed 57%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
	0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+32897071minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Note: the machine was used for other tasks during the test, too.

These results are with SVN/CVS tests enabled. I am pretty sure that the results would be even more impressive without them (the SVN/CVS tests come all at the end, and seem to idle the CPU mostly, and the last few seconds are only spent on 2 tests).
