I don't think that it's worth going to that trouble. Testing multiple passes isn't hard -- not in any real practical sense. I accept that there needs to be some solution to the problem of the tests timing out on slow running buildfarm animals. Your PG_TEST_SKIP_SLOW proposal seems like a good approach. -- Peter Geoghegan
