I'll leave it to the caller to spin faster. I actually wanted to add 
both hanging batches: fast and slow. My idea would be to have, even if 
only basics, hang tests for all situations: Moving Head; Still HEAD; 
Idle engine are the ones that come to mind. We could have a require() 
for gen version if needed.

Antonio
