I think the main reasons are:
* Creation of new processes is slow on Windows. So some unit tests
that run hundreds of processes causes the unit tests to go very slow
(for e.g., bfd and cfm).
* I think 'configure' is also slow on Windows for the same reason as above.
* autoconf tests on mingw does not have the infrastructure to be
executed in parallel. (I think it is because of no mknod. Probably it
can be worked around, but the fix will likely be needed upstream in
the code that generates testsuite)
* Appveyor itself provides only one CPU. So I cannot run 'make -jx'
