 after a change they go to 20s you don't notice this as you would notice if
 it goes from 5mins to 10mins.

 make tests longer. I an quite unaware of the time Sage takes to compile
 because it is usually so long that I run it before leaving my office. So
 compiling Sage "takes one night", whatever is added to it `:-P`

 Yes! Also considering the fact that your hardware setup may change
 drastically over the years...

 BTW do you use the make flag that makes use of parallelization when
 building sage?

 Yes! As mentioned in the other trac ticket I agree with you. Though I
 still think the current tests are way way to small (testing just a few
 documentation examples).

 We need a better framework for extensive tests. Something that you can run
 over the night, as is I don't feel relieved when the tests pass with
 success.
