On a second glance, we also have this entry with --target-list-exclude
in our test matrix:

    - env:
        - CONFIG="--disable-user
--target-list-exclude=${MAIN_SOFTMMU_TARGETS}"
        - CACHE_NAME="${TRAVIS_BRANCH}-linux-clang-default"
      compiler: clang

So while you've speed up one target, this one might get actually slower
instead. That's a little bit unfortunate. Is there maybe a better way to
tackle this?
