The NixOS system tests actually aren't very lengthy (though they do suffer from
non-deterministic failures). It's more the latency of having to wait for 20,000
package builds.

Obviously, a better solution would be to:

* Throw more hardware at the problem.

* Start mirroring NARs to cache.nixos.org before the jobset eval has finished
building.
