ah this is an orthogonal issue.  as in: it's a low-level comparator
API that should have absolutely nothing to do with parallelism at
the *unit test runner* level (be that nosetests or any other)

bear in mind that attempting to run multiple parallel qemu 
cosimulations may simply not be practical.

but even there this API has absolutely nothing to do with how
it's used: it is PURELY a comparator API.

> bunch of time.

it's a good design, yet at the same time
has nothing to do with this bugreport, which is, solely
about extracting and then comparing two (or more) sets of "state".
