So certainly I > think it is a good idea. As usual, I forgot my footnote. ;) It was: I've actually mostly given up my stress script in favor of --stress. I only used it here because of the bisection issue you mention. One other thing I've noticed with it: I forget to add my custom --root=/var/ram/git-tests when I invoke it, so my hard disk goes crazy (and the tests often run slower!). I'm not sure if there's a convenient fix. -Peff
