Bounty for Speeding Up Unit Tests (update)
- ------------------------------------------

`Last week`_ I made a mistake in reporting what items you needed to
perform in order to collect the `bounty`_.  I reported the time to run
unit tests needed to be cut by 4.8 minutes.  To claim the bounty, you
need to **cut the time** to 4.8 minutes.  I have corrected the original
copy as well.
