Just a simple arithmetic: 8 (test runs) is bigger (longer) than 1 or
2, + synchronizing costs..
Sorry? The 8 files reflect 8 *different platforms*, which are each
going to run anyway.

Why? Our goal is to get rid of any excluded tests. Consider the
excluded tests as the existence of a regression, and we should work to
fix ASAP.
We aren't "parking" them there to be ignored - we're putting them there
so that the build can complete while we work on the fixes. We're in
essence "grandfathering-in" these regressions.

Could be - I don't see where the waste of time comes in.
