Making that measurement on the current set of tests doesn't seem to me
to prove much.  I assume Robins' eventual goal is to make a significant
improvement in the tests' code coverage across the entire backend, and
what we see submitted now is just as much as he's been able to do yet
in that line.  So even if the current cost is negligible, I don't think
it'll stay that way.
