Think the biggest slow down is from it running all the test suites in isolation in separate contexts (think that's the right word). I got frustrated with how slow our frontend test…

Oh hey I work in mortgage! We use plain old doubles for everything and there's some rounds in there and occasionally an exotic round to the nearest 1/8th. Everything ends up matchi…
