But...that's not what it is.

Ehh...but this actually runs all the execution tests, which actually use 
the GPU to draw things..the explicit goal is to test the driver backend. 
  I'd say also say those are the long running ones; the compiler tests 
removed here are fairly quick (compiling a 2-10 line shader is 
fast)...there are just a lot of them.
