Bug Description

I'm making an experimental change to a part of the test suite. I want to know if it actually makes the test suite faster.

I'm going to test it by firing off two ec2test runs at about the same time and then see which email comes back first. I'd like to have a more efficacious way of running the suite. Something like:

  ./utilities/compare-run-times lp:~jml/launchpad/a lp:~jml/launchpad/b lp:launchpad

EC2 being, well, EC2, I don't know how valuable running the tests in two instances at the same time is :/

For the avoidance of confusion: I'm talking about the fact that EC2 instances are virtual machines and can be affected by whatever is going on on the same physical host.

Probably this will never be fixed by Canonical staff.

This is kind of fixed by the linked branch.

Specifically, the emails received now include the test run time duration, which is good enough.
