On EMBA, tests will run only per subdirectories like test/lisp/erc. As
long as all ERC related tests are located there, these tests are
triggered only when there is a change in lisp/erc/* or
test/lisp/erc/*. No problem.

Furthermore, whole tests are run on EMBA every 8 hours. They last
several hours, an increase by 5-7 minutes doesn't count.

Best regards, Michael.
