I'll be also interested to see this

One reason (for me) is that we have 3 sets of tests + 1 network test,
which adds up to 4 things that can sensibly be run in parallel.
Anything more would be overkill (?).  I want to make sure the network
test is kicked off in the beginning because it involves a lot of waiting
around.  

I assume it is ok for me to push this patch, because we are really
just going back to how we've been doing things for a while...
