  - As the number of tests grows it takes longer to start the test
    suite. Under threaded mpms it can take a very long time on a loaded
    machine (10 minutes and more). At the moment we keep on bumping the
    startup timeout, but there is always someone with a slower/more
    loaded machine, for whom this timeout is too low, and the tests
    suite misleadingly fails to start. So may be we must start thinking
    to split the existing test suite into several smaller suites (for
    example we already have a separate ModPerl-Registry test suite). If
    we do perl/ithreads* and any tests definging +Clone/+Parent tests
    should definitely be moved out from the main suite, as they cause
    the biggest overhead (due to perl_clone).
