10 minutes is as short as I'd make it given the limitations of CVS. 
Using SVN would be a different story as we can, with sufficient 
developer care, get cohesive change updates.

As for restart testing function.. I think it's already in there. It's 
already possible to click on the info for an ongoing build (the link for 
"Build #") and that has a button to stop the build. I suspect, haven't 
tried this, that if one stops an ongoing build and there are other 
builds queued up it will start another one immediately.
