BTW, number of tests might help as initial guess on how to split things, but
might be severely off.
What I'd recommend after you split with your script that you perform a
make -j1 check and diff the Test run by and runtest completed
times in each of the */*.log.sep files and see what time each job takes,
then perhaps reshuffle stuff a little bit until it is roughly even.
Some letters could start more dg-do run tests while others more dg-do
compile once, some tests take a short time to compile, some very long, etc.
