I guess "urgent" might be a debatable, but more importantly we are at 
the brink of multiday turn around times for testing which impacts 
development of all libraries.

Perhaps we should invest in adding those resource statistics to the 
regression results? Putting next to each test how long they took. And 
putting a total run test time for libraries would help us see this issue 
earlier. We currently have a lack of feedback as to how the testing 
system is behaving.
