Ideas:

 - Eliminate reactor.iterate() call, either by switching to a new API, or using
some cunning producer/consumer system. I have a branch working on the former
(test-api-3); I tried the latter once, but had problems with serializing
events.
 - Profile with gprof/oprofile.
 - Run tests in parallel. Each test definitely needs a connection to itself,
and maybe a CM to itself (which would mean a bus to itself).

I thought maybe that Python startup time (including imports etc.) was a
bottleneck, but I wrote a test runner that in theory made all startup costs a
one-off cost and it only shaved off ~30s.

What's our goal, assuming the current number of tests? One minute? Two?
