# A trick to make the test run muuuch faster, by avoiding repeated

Hadn't noticed this before. Maybe you could see what tests are currently
taking the longest to run, and see if the above helps speed them up?
Sure, when I eventually find the time to run 'time' :). I was hoping
to have some results by now, hence the delay.
Is there a way to time individual tests, or do I have to run 'time
make check TESTS=...'?
It seems a somewhat weird thing to do, but if it saves enough time, I
guess it would be worth it. --thanks, karl.
Yes, it is a bit weird and I don't know if this can negatively
impact the tests themselves in functionalities which may rely on
aclocal.m4 to be correct. Certainly the tests that add or remove macro
calls to or from configure.ac need to have aclocal.m4 up-to-date and
so they need to run aclocal after each modification, as I see it.
