This seems worth looking into. There's also a lot of tests that can't 
really be improved by multithreading *internally*, but also don't touch 
global state and hence could be run in parallel with anything else. We 
could construct a whitelist (or maybe there's even enough to construct a 
blacklist instead) of tests that winetest can run in parallel.
