Is there some way we could speed this up? Obviously it can't be run for 
multiple pull requests at once, as they requests could affect each 
other, so it'll need a third run if they're run at the same time. Is 
there some way we could work around that?

What hardware does it take hours to run on? Could a donation of some 
faster hardware help? Perhaps something like Google does could be useful 
to decrease the amount of time the suite takes (see my post about 
continuous integration at Google not too long ago).
