+- Issue #11651: Improve the Makefile test targets to run more of the test suite
+ more quickly. The --multiprocess option is now enabled by default, reducing
+ the amount of time needed to run the tests. "make test" and "make quicktest"
+ now include some resource-intensive tests, but no longer run the test suite
+ twice to check for bugs in .pyc generation. Tools/scripts/run_test.py provides
+ as an easy platform-independent way to run test suite with sensible defaults.
