"make check" times

In this case, it's about a third of "make check" if you don't need to
rebuild/recheck anything (reduces 30 seconds to 19 seconds), but
compared to a full test run (lots of minutes) it's in the noise.

I've been looking at it from a "why does running one test take so long"
viewpoint - when a test takes under a second, but "make check" takes 30
seconds, there's a lot of overhead.

There are ways of optimizing this, too, though... like better
parallelism.
