I was thinking about a system where the fast systems provide quick results and 
catch probably 99% of the broken patches, and broken systems stay behind and 
report rare breakages probably an hour or two later. But thanks to Charles' 
fast Mac this isn't a concern for OSX any more.

Where it might still be necessary is if we want to run the tests e.g. on ARM 
CPUs where fast hardware may not be available.
