Who is going to look at the output?

In the last two weeks we have twice hit the point where the slowest
builders are so far behind the fastest builders that by the time the
build reports finally get submitted to the coordinator none of the
build logs are still available for the fastest builders.

If the builders are not going to fail the build for a test failure I do
not see the point of running them for every build as part of patchset
verification.

In my opinion what would be reasonable at this point would be
to have a separate set of builders that run 'make check' on a daily
basis.  However, I do not want them in the current builder pool
because failures that result in deadlock will bring the entire buildbot
 verification system to a halt.
