Unfortunately, I don't think so.  It's surely due to the patch I just
committed to suppress GC during some of the long-running tests.  In
other words, it should somewhat encourage people to run the tests, but
it's not going to affect your day-to-day editing.

You can get a similar speed up for Real Work[tm] with

(setq gc-cons-threshold (* some-factor gc-cons-threshold))

in your init file, but since you're only seeing a slight improvement
in mule-tests which does a lot of GC, it won't help very much.  :-(
