Obviously, if there are > problems, we wouldn't want to proceed with a wider net. The results from the smoke branch looked good - the failures were typical intermittent failures for the smokers involved (timing issues on the VMs (cygwin and solaris), the occasional free2 failure on neptune, and the speed.t failure on neptune is reasonable (neptune is a busy box.) I benchmarked with and without the Test2 patch, and the details can be found at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QV6g8q8FWTL_MiFsBe24bHViKCDU3x4Z5bryrDUVFs4/edit?usp=sharing Testing perl took ~7% longer on average for non-parallel testing and 3.5% longer for 6-job parallel testing, which isn't too bad. Testing Imager was a bit more worrying, non-parallel testing took ~16% longer and parallel testing took ~11% longer. But I can only consider that the cost of the increased flexibility that the new Test system will provide. In any case we're unfrozen, the extra costs aren't prohibitive, so this has been applied as b4514920cd5cabccad6add35edf1bef258070a11. The patch updated win32/makefile.mk and win32/Makefile, but missed updating win32/GNUmakefile, which I've done in ec35cd4c022dea519712ce60efb24e281b048471.
