The test suite runs libtool half the time, and libltdl another bit,
which I think is exactly what is interesting for the performance of the
Libtool package, no?  It might not be representable for other projects
because the compiler is usually fast with the small example sources,
but that only means the test suite pronounces libtool time regressions
even more than real-world examples would.

Cheers, and thanks for measuring!
