Otherwise, I don't have any problem reducing the number of tests and disabling all tests on PowerPC at least. I could also do some analysis if it was deemed necessary, inserting a patch to measure the timings of each test/cycle. Additionally, I could try packaging some of the versions between 0.88 and 0.98 to identify the exact change that could be to blame. However, both of these seem overkill, given the backlog of patches/issues we have left to get through, and the manpower we currently have to work with. Would any of that be helpful? > ...
