Close to 1/3 of those processes are just invoking the bin-wrapper script to set up the EXEC_PATH, etc. I imagine it would not be too hard to just do that in the test script. In fact, it looks like:make prefix=/wherever install GIT_TEST_INSTALLED=/wherever/bin make test might give you an immediate speedup by skipping bin-wrappers entirely.
Running the tests with --with-dashes should give you the same effect, no? -- Hannes
