It turns out I seriously under-estimated how long 'make' check' takes
for me:
$ time make check PARALLELISM=9999
real 31m37.282s
user 92m2.229s
sys 2m54.219s
That's for a dbgutil build, and I'm using the machine - but not heavily
(no compilation etc - just some E-mail / web).
Without dbgutil we get:
real 12m45.145s
user 28m47.321s
sys 2m34.849s
Which is better, but still not 3x minutes.

Then again - I don't have an 8x core i7 - which no matter how
apparently cheap they are 2nd hand doesn't seem to me that reasonable.
So - it seems to me that we could usefully invest in improving 'make
check' performance; not least by loosing 'sleeps' - I guess more
profiling is in order.
Oh ! and - I suspect the ~3x slower dbgutil issue can be fixed with
this easy hack:

Which is also rather easy I hope.
ATB,
Michael.
