Three notes:

* although the tests in gna/ are independent, some of vests aren't: there
  are tests that need to be analysed or run after others.  So running them
  in parallel isn't trivial at all.

* Running the whole test suite and finding a pattern is a good idea. This
  often ease finding the issue.

* Don't spend to much time in trying to run in parallel: your objective is
  to run the whole test suite first.


With mcode, the whole test suite runs in a couple of minutes.

Tristan.
