Comment (by jhpalmieri):

 Is there some sort of preliminary testing which could be done in spkg-
 install to try to catch machines which might take many hours to build
 ATLAS? For those machines, we could set the appropriate environment
 variable to skip as much tuning as possible, and then for quicker
 machines, we do more tuning. Something like
 {{{
 #!sh
 if [ -z "$SAGE_ATLAS_ARCH" && machine_is_too_old ]; then
    SAGE_ATLAS_ARCH='skip tuning' # or whatever
 fi
 }}}
 (For 'machine_is_too_old', maybe just seeing if it only has one core would
 be enough.) Then the user can force tuning by setting SAGE_ATLAS_ARCH to
 something appropriate. I'm not sure this the the right variable, but
 anyway, I hope you understand the idea. Is this workable?
