yeah, I remember it taking much less time before I rebased...

well, it mentions each test twice, once when it starts it and once when it
finishes it. also, most of those tests are actually testing sub-pieces of
powmod, e.g. I have a pile of tests for divmod to ensure I actually hit all the
corner cases (otherwise how would I know if it's correct? it's too complex for
me to confidentially say it's bug-free without them). the few tests testing the
full powmod algorithm are the ones that take 30min.
