Or perhaps EXPENSIVE_ON_WINDOWS, since it's actually pretty cheap on linux and not that bad on Mac However, if we're going down that route, perhaps t9001-send-email.sh could be wrapped in an EXPENSIVE prerequisite? That single test file takes an inordinate percentage of overall runtime. One one box with a few extra cpus, that test both starts first and finishes last...and it's not far from that on even normal boxes.
