Charles, what speed is your box again?

Yes, there are probably lots of slow old macs around.

Ideas:
1. fix the "test-only patches still run the whole suite" bug
2. get several slow macs and put them in a mac queue to share the load
3. add a patch filter to test only graphics-related changes, and use
it on these slow machines with interesting graphics hardware
4. add a new test method to run only graphics-related tests, and use
it on these slow machines with interesting graphics hardware
5. find a fast mac
