Thank you Hauke,
running the complete cdash testsuite only takes roughly half the test 
time (from 22 min down to 11 min) .
This is fine.

But there is still a big gab remaining:
"Homer" 27.08.09 test time  2.4 min (build time 57.5 min !!!!)
compared to
"Gordo" 29.08.09 test time 11.2 min (build time 16.5 min)

CDash is not a benchmark arena and a testsuite is not meant to be quick,
but i would love to understand the reasons (and avoid build times in 
terms of hours).

Cheers
Frank
