It is possible, but I am concerned that 300s on modern multi-core  
hardware, with abundant memory, is insufficient for a test to  
complete.  How long would the test take if it ran optimized, rather  
then debug?  Is there anyway we could restructure the failing tests so  
they run quicker?

It's rare (once a month) when I have time to even read the mailing  
lists, much less do any work to fix problems.  Your best bet is to  
ping me directly.
