On my computer, the tests are pretty fast. Building the C++ demos is slow because the test won't build in parallel (using -jX doesn't help when building tests).

For me, the idea is to do more or what is suggested under point 4, but rather than registering a new branch every time I work on something I have a permanent 'sandbox' that I'm free to break. My take is that it's fine for the code in personal repositories to fail the tests, which is inevitable when implementing bigger changes. What it should do is avoid the problem that we've had when the buildbot is red for days or weeks - one things breaks the buildbot, and before it's fixed a bunch of other problems have been introduced.
