Is this just toplevel 'make' or 'make check'? I find it a bit strange
that we have 'make build-nocheck' to build the code, 'make check' to run
the tests, and 'make' to do something between the two -- and this
"something" is the default. ;-)

Also, I didn't do measurements, but my impression is that the current
hot path in 'make check' are still the Java tests, so if we want faster
'make check', then perhaps a way towards that would be to accelerate the
conversion of the majority of those Java tests to in-process ones.

Or did I miss something? :-)

Regards,

Miklos
