Fine with me.

I will still claim that when this makes a difference for your full test 
suite benchmarks then it is because the test scheduler is inefficient. 
It should keep records of the previous execution time for each test and 
use that for scheduling the tests fairly. Splitting the largefiles test 
will address the symptom, not the real problem.

Having smaller tests is however also nice when rerunning tests because 
of a single failure.

But please make sure the splitup is recorded as a copy so merges and 
annotate works.
