Hmmm - making just one page of errors for each library and tester rather 
than a page for each test would help me out.  this would eliminate the 
truncation of the error messages and diminish the number of potential 
linked pages (in the serialization library) by a factor of about 1000. 
that might help performance.

But once we start doing that, we'll end up re-architecting the whole 
thing!  Which is what I would very much like to see.  But I wouldn't 
want to impose such a task on anyone.
