Most of the ZEO tests are functional tests.  They test the behavior of
a client and server together, which involves many classes and two
processes.  The primary expense of these tests is spawning server
processes to test against.

It seems plausible that a Zope developer ignore these tests, but it's
essential that people making changes in ZODB run them.  If I run just
the ZEO tests, it takes 204 seconds for 116 tests.  The other 2600
tests in the Zope3 suite take about the same amount of time.
