Well, depends. For intermittent failures, it does indeed slow things
down compared to post-commit testing, as the extra builds triggered
automatically need to succeed before anything can land.

When actual bugs are introduced by a commit on the other hand, any
slowdown here is probably smaller than what is required for manual
resolution of failures with post-commit testing...
