Hi,
Is it possible to set up a slave that e.g. runs only the d3d tests? I have some older machines with older GPUs that are still worth covering(Radeon X1600, Geforce 7, maybe even the Radeon 9000 mobility), but I am not sure if the machines as a whole are powerful enough to run all the tests. I think there isn't really a need to run the mostly platform independent tests like msi and shell32 everywhere.

The buildbot cluster is not ready for prime time yet. My ubuntu 11.04-based slaves tend to lock up within a day with either an OOM failure, an X livelock, or something else. So I brought an ubuntu 10.04.3 slave online and moved the buildmaster off onto its own machine; let's see what breaks next.
- Slave speed
Here is the complete build-and-test time (and the build time alone) for four CPUs: 54 (48) celeron @ 2.80 GHz (headless, so it's not running all tests) 17 (10) E8400 @ 3.00GHz 14 (6) Q9300 @ 2.50GHz 12 (4) i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
I will probably stick with slaves that are core 2 duo or better, so patches can get fast feedback.
