FYI, our past experience (with pre-Haswell CPUs) was so painful (read:
super-slow) that we've given up.

Great :)

Note that in a few months, we'll have a server dedicated to running
our test suite, so the advantage of using your box instead will
vanish. Also, for people doing any kind of intensive Tails
development, IMO being able to run the test suite locally is waaay
more practical.
