Hmm, that test has 8 permutations, five second each ... if we split it
in 3 and run those in parallel, we reduce the total isolation runtime
by 25 seconds even if we do *nothing else at all*. If we tweak the
other things, I think we could make the whole set run in about 30
seconds total in a normal machine.

Splitting the test never crossed my mind.
