What if it went in at the same time as an optimization so that overall runtime
stayed constant or dropped?

Speaking of test run-time, it appears to me that zdtm.sh is currently pretty
single threaded. Adding parallelization to the test harness may provide a
useful speedup on quad code and greater systems (maybe the kind of speed up
that could hide the slowdown of always running a script).

Are the current tests generally deterministic? If so I think it'd be good to
keep them so, for repeatably results and easy debugging. Probabilistic testing
or fuzzing sounds like a great idea, but perhaps it'd be best organized as a
separate suite from deterministic tests.
