Comment (by gp1308):

 > Perhaps the simplest first step is to parallelise via the makefile -
 automake's parallel testharness understands TAP format test output and as
 the name suggests can run tests in parallel.

 Ok. I am getting familiar about automake parallel test harness.

 > I'm surprised you don't see more gain from parallelism - is one child
 running all the tests which involve glass?

 Yes. All tests which involve glass run in a single process. Tests related
 to other backends complete very quickly.
