Maybe it's time to let it run faster. An obvious issue is that, we were running the tests sequentially in the past. This series provides another new "-j" parameter. "-j 8" means we run the tests on 8 task queues. That'll fasten the script a lot. A very quick test of mine shows 3x speed boost with 8 task queues. Most of the changes are in scripts/tash.bash of patch 2, which implemented the main logic for task managements. Please see commit message for more information. I did a quick "make standalone" test to make sure this series won't break it. However I am not sure whether it'll break other thing that I don't know... Please kindly review, thanks.
