Comment (by warner):

 I'm working on a branch that fixes a bunch of this. `test_mutable` uses
 smaller uploaded files, and stops exercising the N=255 case, which reduces
 the time by a factor of 7. `test_cli` uses a grid with k=N=1, which
 reduces it by 50%. Smaller speedups were obtained by using k=N=1 on all
 other !NoNetworkGrid tests that don't actually exercise multiple shares.

 `test_system` is still pretty bad, I haven't yet tried to tackle it.
