Also remember that until recently the Unix and Windows ZEO tests
worked quite differently, but that caused problems when I wanted to
generalize the ZEO tests to be able to work with different back-end
storages. Now they share a common code base, which is a good thing.
However the Windows code was much simpler so that's the code base they
share, and I think Tim said the Windows tets were always slower.
