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

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
