Running all.bash (which does go test -short std cmd), my target is usually that individual tests should run in under 1 second.

The cmd/link test takes 3.4s on my system. Can we make it take less time?

cmd/link is implicitly tested by pretty much every other test in the system, so it's hard to believe it needs to do a ton in the -short test.

I missed that cmd/link/internal/ld takes an additional 12.9 seconds. That's even worse.

cmd/link: skip a couple of DWARF tests in short mode

Rejigger the DWARF tests to ensure that they run in a reasonable
amount of time in short mode, particularly the "abstract origin
sanity" testpoints.

cmd/link/internal/ld: run tests in parallel
353795c 
Also skip TestNooptCgoBuild in short mode.

Also fix a couple of obscure constants to use values named in
cmd/internal/dwarf.

This brings the time of the cmd/link/internal/ld tests down to about 1
second on my laptop.

This makes the tests slightly faster, though the bulk of the time is
still spent building the test programs.

Also run some tests in parallel.
