Well, if that other project is Launchpad (which it typically is), I've
timed it as each submission taking approx 1hr.

So if you are stuck behind 5 submissions, you are talking about waiting
5 hours, not 2.5.

And I'm guessing the test suite is only growing. So soon it may be
1.5hrs per submission.

I've mentioned it too, though my feeling was it may just be best to have
a separate pqm instance. Maybe running on the same machine, maybe just
running on a less powerful machine, since bzr doesn't take as long as
Launchpad to test.
