I'm afraid that arbitrarily selecting 25% of the current test suite
will leave too of the functionality much untested.  Emacs is a
hodge-podge of mostly unrelated functionalities, so I think it won't
be easy to come up with a meaningful sanity test.

But maybe I'm just missing something.  Can you tell how will you
select the 30-sec worth of tests?

Thanks.
