Well, it's a trade-off.  20 minute test runs suck too.

Whenever someone remembers to run tests with --all.  Perhaps the Zope
nightly tests should include this flag (but then, you'd also want
optional s/w like BerkeleyDB installed so those tests get run too).

Regular --all usage is probably best suited for automated testing
anyway.

What's the "this"?  The level stuff is platform independent.
