Thanks, Frank.

Wouldn't this be an argument for *removing* the data, then?

Or perhaps the test suite system could be equipped with a
"short/medium/long" flag if people really wanted to avoid the most
time-/memory-consuming tests?

This sounds like the kind of thing that might have been discussed
before; I'm just objecting to anything other than .par files being in
a "par" directory.
