required to generate the summary tables from the test XML is worse than
linear in complexity - considerably worse. (On my machine, ~10 seconds
with one result ZIP, ~1 minute with 3, ~5 minutes with 6 - and that was
with a bug that resulted in the data not actually being used.)

That's just one part of the testing system, but it has to happen on one
