Comment (by knarf):
I do have a couple of complete Cactus checkouts - and at least three of them I usually sync to various machines. This can create space issues on /home directories with quotas. This is mainly a space-issue then.
The other problem are machines where single-file IO is slow, thus a simfactory sync is painfully slow because we have so many files, and most of these files are actually testsuite data files. I do want to transfer these files, but I usually don't need to have them plain within my checkout.
