There's a windows tester (win-farm-1) that takes 1 hour to 
complete each single test while most of the other testers usually 
take 10 to 20 minutes. On high activity period it's almost 
impossible to get an old PR fully tested. Each time someone 
amends or fixes-up something the slow machines take the new 
stuffs before.

For example look at this one:
https://auto-tester.puremagic.com/pull-history.ghtml?projectid=1&repoid=3&pullid=4204

win_32_64 (win-farm-1) has only run **once** while FreeBSD_32 has 
run **21 times** !!
