It might also be nice to have them be a separate top level test, so that the tests can be run in parallel. AIUI having 1 test with 6 subtests forces all 6 to run in sequence, whereas with 2 tests and 3 subtests each you can at least use 2 host CPUs. Or does the qtest subtest handling include parallelism? -- PMM
