Assuming we don't just stick one of thumbs in the air, how would you
plan to go about this? We could just compare the build times. We could
add some timestamps to debian/rules so we can focus on the test part of
the build. I don't think I have got much more stomach for any more
testing than  that as I have dealt with a fair few RC bugs over the past
month.
