It's one of the slower ones (1 - 1.5 CPU hours for each ISA, so x4). I have nothing against gzip in particular, I just do not see what it adds compared to e.g. bzip2. Do we believe that this test actually adds any value?
The broader question would be: which of the tests actually add coverage and not just CPU hours? Another reason for pruning the regressions is the size of the stats updates. For some of the bus/memory related patches, each bump is 10MB+ (only stats.txt).
