Probably, indeed, because the environment would be closer to an actual 
usage environment. But this is hardly measurable.

And you have to balance the added value of those additional tests with 
the manpower needed to setup a new test infrastructure, integrate it 
with current build system, and maintain it... I heard the sysadmin team 
was looking for volonteers, if you're interested :P
